3.73's wow! whats next?!

[Daniel50]

well just had my first race with my 3.73's and lets just say i lost by 2 cars before and i wont by about 4 cars now to the same car haha. im pumped now. what will give me the next best bang for the buck?! excluding nitrous since i have a kit that i will use later on

 

[Pennywise2]

What car did you race and what were the mods man?
I would do a H/C/I combo that should help you alot!
What nitrous kit do you plan on useing in the future?

 

[Roland69]

nitrous
































































J/K but I would look at maby a set of aluminum heads if you want best bang for buck. What kind of car were you racing

 

[86bluecobra]

yes i say H/C/I don't forget about all the easy stuff like electric fan UD pulleys advancing your timing a chip etc etc etc.

 

[Pops Fun]

I agree gears are definately the best bang for the bucks..

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

supercharger.....imo the best bang for the buck. i mean, why waste your money on little things, just bolt on a s/c and get ~300 rwhp.

 

[94GTMOOSE]

the mans got a point...s/c and done.

What's up with that Kyle.....

I heard a new spin on the whole gear thing----gears should be last so you can match the gears to the power--makes sense in a way.

We have that stock silly u/d pulleys would be a great bang for the buck and so would a 94/95 cobra intake....

 

[Pennywise2]

Supercharger or H/C/I combo is your best bet to make good power.

 

[fiveo'cobra]

Well Turbo, alum. heads, and blowers are great bolt-ons, but are quite expensive. If you want a couple quick bolt ons that will most greatly improve your power, get a cobra intake and some underdrive pulleys, and then advance your timing. If you find good deals on those two parts, you can get them both for around $400 + shipping. Then after you advance the timing you are lookig at around 15-20whp gains along with some good torque numbers.

 

[Daniel50]

to clear a few things up i already have underdrive pulleys. and the car was a cobalt ss with longtube header, no cat, borla catback, cai, stage 2 (4 more pounds of boost, and computer). it went 14.2@99 at the track. lol all those mods for that time

 

[midnight_347]

you have a bigger tb and maf? if not a 65mm tb and 70+mm maf with a gt-40 intake would be a good start. than save up for heads and a cam. gt40x heads and e or f cam after that you would be a happy cet bro. go looking for camaro ss instead of cobalt ss

 

[Pennywise2]

Trickflow heads,intake,and stage 2 cam would be worth it but,expensive.

 

[Danman765432]

im going to be doing heads and cam too after i do my throttle body, gears and posi. But im going the cheaper easier way for a pretty good gain on a street car. Im going to be going with the Thumper Heads and Cam package(TFS 1) and it is only around 1k for it.

 

[igotyofire]

what speedo gear did u use to correct your spedometer if u did happen to use one? i cant seem to find the one for 3.73s and also do u have the stock driveshaft or an aluminum one. i would like gears to be my next mod buy im worried about vibrations and not having the cash on hand for a driveshaft to rid them if their is a problem which i belive some have had after gears

That seems like too big of a difference to me.

I bet it DID feel great though!
