What mods do you have?

**Kaotic_ws6** · 01-27-2009, 11:54 AM

i dont have near what i want but heres what i got

Performance wise...
Kooks lt's with y pipe and slp resonater, true ram air no lid (just a vette filter), plugs, wires, cammed, ported stock heads, electric water pump, throttle body, stock MAF, stock ls6 intake. stock tranny and rear end except for a centerforce clutch and slave and a short throw shifter. made 420rwhp and 390rwtq on a "daily driver tune" because i wanted it to be the most streetable because i drove in traffic everyday but now i wish i just would have went all out.

That's actually a lot, especially for someone who's 17. Most people on the site don't have numbers like that. How much more do you actually want?

BTW what are your cam specs?

**Kaotic_ws6** · 01-27-2009, 01:38 PM

thanks, well i was wanting a sts turbo set up but i fixin to be movin out to my own house so money will be tight, what im gonna do instead is do a fast 90/90 with a retune gears, and a 125 shot. should put me at 550+ at the wheels. and that is buy far enough for now. what do you guys think... INPUT PLEASE

That is a lot for someone tight on cash. First of all I'll let you know you posted twice. Second, the Fast manifold is great, I have it, but its expensive for the gains you get, and since you already have the ls6 I'd stay with it. See my car is a 2000 so for me it was more worth it but I'd say you'd be fine staying with the ls6. BTW its not FAST 90 anymore, its FAST 92 which is a new and improved version, they discontinued the 90 and have the better 92 now, but I have the 90 cause I bought it earlier.

I would not go with STS for the turbo, its not your best choice, go to the forced induction section and see what I mean, the STS kit gets flamed all the time, people don't normally like it. It really would help at this point if we had your cam specs, those may actually limit your ability to even install a turbo.

As far as both your proposed nitrous or turbo setup plans go, you're pushing the motor hard, and by hard I mean borderline on blowing it. Your going to want to either not spray so much, go easy on the boost, or think about a better rotating assembly first with forged pistons.

At the very least for anything near the mid 500's you will have to replace the rod bolts, the stock rod bolts are weak and known to cause problems, they will be the first thing to go. I'm assuming since you already did the heads you're running aftermarket head bolts, if not you'll have to change those too.

I'll admit gears are not my area of expertise, ask one of the other guys. What I do know about the rear is with all that power your going to want go easy on that stock 10 bolt (unless you have a different rear end you haven't mentioned), or consider upgrading that. Does your car see any action on the strip?
