Thread: next mod suggestion

hey guys just looking for some opinions here. I recently got my headers in and im happy with them so far. Now my total mod list, is headers, a zzp can tune, autolite 105s, homemade air intake. I was kind of leaning towards a pulley finally, but eventually id like to go cammed or rockers, and throw an intercooler on it. But what do you think? should i do the rockers first, or go ahead and pulley down to make the best bang for the buck at this point

3.6 pulley.

i dont, im working on the money for an aeroforce but im gonna try and get up to a car show by me, and theres a guy that goes there that said hed look at the tune and such so i could probably get him to scan it for now

scanner first then MAYBE pulley if no knock.

whats gonna be more beneficial in the long run? Cam or rockers? its about the same pricewise by the time its all said and done but it seems liek a cam would be more beneficial?

a cam.

cam is going to be way more beneficial.

well maybe its time for a loan and some new goodies (aeroforce cam and an intercooler) lol thanks for the input guys

you could go cammed and skip the IC.

this is probably gonna sound really dumb but, the cam in itself wont kill any kr or will it? ive read up on the ic and i see that can drop it significantly, but i dont know much about camming and stuff

of course it will.

well i appreciate the help guys, hopefully ill get it scanned soon and see where i stand there, but it sounds like a cam is gonna be the next investment then. awesome #thumbs up

k good luck.

You could pulley down now.... Seriously

Cam is going to be the way to go if you want power throughout your wideband and your willing to spend the 1K(unless you go with VS)it will cost you for all the parts to go along with it. Rockers won't cost you anywhere near that. It's worth to go cam in the long run if you plan to further mod the car. I would suggest a XP cam if theres any chance you might go turbo in the future.

Not before scanning.

Do not get a loan to mod your car. If you can't afford to mod your car then you can't afford to fix it when it breaks.

Like said already:
1) have it scanned before you do anything else.
2) get your own scanner as your next mod.
3) if you plan on doing a lot more mods, get your own tuner or become friends with someone who will be around when you need them to tune your car.
4) if you have a solid tune and no Kr and not a pig rich AF Only then should you drop pulley sizes. if you have Kr that cant be tuned out or requires rich AF's then you need more mods like a Cam or IC
