$2K, what mods to buy?

[rick17587]

Okay guys, I know you've seen a million threads like this, but I have been researching for about a month and I'm still undecided. What do you think I should buy? Here are my current mods;

Maximum Motorsports c/c plates
MAC Off-road x-pipe
MAC cat-back
BBK cai
Predator tuner
Full length subframe connectors
Eibach springs
Bilstein shocks
Nitto 555r's
Steeda tri-ax
HD irs crossmember brace
4.30s (soon to be installed)


Best 1/4 mile-13.59

I don't road race, just some fun on the streets and a little weekend strip time.

 

[snake bite 03]

save up some more cash and get a procharger.

 

[01YellowCobra23]

ditch that steed tri ax and get a MGW SHIFTER and JLT CAI

o by the way











+1 on the procharger!

Welcome and Pics!

 

[droptopsnake01]

save for a blower

That's definately on my "to do" list. However, I want to forge the internals before I toss a blower on it. If I'm going to do it I might as well get it right the first time.

NX Wet Nitrous Kit
MSD Digital Window Switch
NX Gen 2 Kit
JLT RAI
JLT Pre-PCV Filter
Ported Intake (By Naz )
Denso Iridium IT20 Plugs
and May be a Meziere Electric Water Pump

With your current lmods llland a 75 to 100 shot it will make over 400RWHP and o/a 425-450RWTQ and stomp just about everything in the streets and run deep 12s/high 11s on some sticky tires!

I would do suspension mods if you plan on forged internals and supercharger. Its worthless to have power when you cant hook up. A solid axle is always a huge plus. If it was me I would go with a with a 5.0 stroker and twin turbos. There is a good 600hp on a street tune.

For now though I would do with a solid axle and some good suspension mods.

word!

Or save more and get a blower

 

[rick17587]

Naz, how much you charging for the port job? I had been kicking around the idea of nitrous. I have heard good things about NX and ZEX, any particular reason you prefer NX? Should I go JLT CAI or RAI? I hate the BBK piece, so that was already on my list of things to change, along with the MGW shifter.

 

[no_slow_svt]

wider rear wheels and a blower!!!!

Car looks good. Would you happen to have a video of the exhaust set up?

 

[TPSMak]

Those are good items you picked up and will benefit you in the future if you decide to go with a Supercharger. I would get a SCT Handheld instead, different exhaust (Bassani.. but I love Bassani), Pro 5.0 shifter.

BTW, you have one of the best tuners in the country in your neck of the woods.. Don Lasota. I would defintely give him and Rob (his son) a call and pick their brains. Check out their website @ www.lasotaracing.com... tell them Mike from Apex Motorsports sent ya. You won't be disappointed by them.

BTW, you don't need to go Forged internals for your car.. we tuned a car for a customer and he got 470 RWHP/415RWTQ with a 12:1 AF. If tuned right your car will be fine... if not tuned right 350RWHP is too much.

No I don't, but I can get one for you after I get home. I'll post it up later.

I'll definately have to look them up shortly. I've been meaning to find a reputable tuner in my area.

Go with the RAI, and NX. I send you a PM with the details.

And definately, put some 1" spacers on the back of that Cobra and/or get 275s+ on the rears.

Those are pics from last year. Those were 245/45-17 Fuzion ZRI tires. I now have 275/40-17 Nitto 555r's on the rear.

Forging the motor will eat up double your budget. A truly smart man would get a Roth IRA instead, depending on your age that would buy you a new car, gotta wait decades though....:shrug: .
