1st thing is open up the exhaust with true duals.

a good tune would do wonders

Well it don't add hp, but stall, gears, duals and a tune woke my car up a lot. Steeda timing adjuster is good for 5-10hp. Electric water pump is my next move...I think.

can you explain the steeda timing adjuster ? how does this affect the canned tune on a chip?

It changes the crank sensor from behind the timing cover to in front. It allows for adjustment of ignition timing. Kinda useless if you have a tuner.

Works well if you don't want to reburn your chip. As in my case.

remove intake silencers, k&n drop in filter (im sure ill get flammed for that one but its worked very well for me), new plugs and 9mm+ wires, trans cooler, flush all fluids, exhaust, chip, gears, and you will be more than happy.

You have to remember your not in a mustang and you cant just throw parts at it inexpensively, so its not going to be the fastest thing on the street, but with those mods it will be a hell of a lot of fun.

agree totally...keep that attitude and you won't try to climb Mt. Everest with the wrong shoes. However you will get through the Cumberland Gap in style.

as you said. yes i know its not a mustang. i dont want something to kill every thing on the street. im just looking for something that i can go out and have A :q:q:q:q LOAD of fun in. im not going for any racing metals here LOL.

ok now i heard tune, exhaust, ect. what are everyones recommendations of parts.

i think you may be looking at this wrong 300 -350 horsepower may not be the way to get where you want to be. if you want to do a 13 sec 1/4 mile gears exhaust,tune will get you close but 50 more horsepower may not. the idea should be what you want the car to do! i would rather have a 300 h.p. car running 13's than a 14 sec 350 h.p. car.
