spray it. ready.....go
yeah lol i understand. alot of people dont understand the actual problems with these engines and what goes on inside rather than what they see in the top end. id rather know that my oil is flowing and safe than whether my heads are ported out and im running the biggest baddest cam on the market
can you believe this kid is STILL going on and on? jesus..but anyways yeah i see what your talking about, didnt go cam route yet primarily because my yella terras springs etc are all brand new and im not wanting to switch em out to allow a cam at the moment, in time i will though
yeah hippo lmao......ok im done. I just dont like people thinking i dont how the whole vehical works....i assure you i do.
so pages 2-4 i skipped...youve been warned. you asked for my thoughts and opinions, here they are:
- ditch that northstar and LQ4. seriously. not worth the money. sell it and spend it on beer. the northstar throttle feel is like having sex with a bowl of jello. throttle body upgrades are meant for all out builds, which this is not.
- if you want to gain much, like flake said, you need to do a cam swap.
- you will not achieve this build for under $1000 since it's not worth the effort unless you spend more and get more.
A tuner would be your best investment. Or you can pay $200 every time you change something lol.
stock engine dynoed 196hp
it dynoed 201hp with plog/downpipe.
after headers...it did 219hp - 18 hp gains
added cam...it bumped up to 243hp - 24 hp gains
THIS WAS WITHOUT A TUNE
want real proof?
DO IT YOURSELF AND WASTE LOTS OF MONEY
just my two cents!
cool story brah!
you wanted proof! there it is.
i have 278hp on a 3.4 pulley cam headers and full exhaust, and afr at 11.8 NOTHING ELSE DONE
EDIT:
LOW BUDGET BUILD!!!
Stage 1 Intense Blower cam $200
MPS $50
Full Exhaust $150
Headers $125
less than a 1000 bucks
