Whats the cheapest way to get 60 hp out of the ss/sc? I dont care if it voids warranty or if its a internal external whatever

 

there is none. depending on what you consider "cheap". that's a pretty relative term. what do you have budgetwise?

 

it isn't going to happen with a bottle of octain booster, i'll promise you that.

 

if you know enough about superchargers, increasing boost isnt that hard and CAN be cheap depending onwhat yuour def is.. youll need a retune flash withanything you do, 100 bucks about at a gm dealer or find one with like hptuners. 42.5 injectorswont let you get up to 60WHP, youll be running at a much lower air fuel which will destroy the pistons..

60lb injectors with a 2.6 pulley modular system, air box mod (which is abosolutely the same as a cold air intake and everyone knows that and for me that extra 250 doesnt grow on my backporch tree) and a good cat back exhaust will get around 60ish whp and a must needed retune or youll fry yourself, colder spark plugs is a good invstment too for a couple bucks

look around and take the time needed, getting parts from finding good deals on here even will save you A LOT of money, could get it for around a grand id say if you install it yourself

 

Cheapest mod, remove the airbox cover, strap on a cheap filter.

 

Nitrous

 

I smell a blown engine soon.

Cheap horsepower, I guess nitrous. Get a video of it so we can watch your motor go boom!

Seriously, take some time and search around here to educate yourself before you do anything stupid.

 

I've looked over everything for awhile now I have some ideas on what I'd like to do I was just wondering if I was missing something I'm most likely getting a Tag Stage 1 Kit I was just wondering if cams or something like that would be effective and so on...the last thing i'd put on my car is nos my buddy has a stock srt 4 and he just bought a kit with a 75 shot...foolish id say

 

well you could aways cover the car in vinyl.. if you rap the entire car, i'd bet your lookin at at least 100 hp gain, then tint the windows.. thers another 15..

 

A member has a question, and people like you have to waste space by responding with garbage. If you can't give any usefull advice, don't bother responding. It pisses me off to have to read through threads and encounter idiots and there so called humour.

 

haha

 

TAG stage 1 is great, I love it. I wouldnt touch cams with a ten foot pole... especially the JBP ones.

 

can we please not call it nos thanks

and why do you have to have 60 why not 70?

 

i'm glad you found that funny...


cheapest way to get power.. CAI, cat back, simple things..

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssssssss!! !!!!

 

lean out your AFR up top.. it'll make more power..

and thats cheap and easy!

(not banking on how long though..)

yo dom, i just blew all the welds on my intake

 

2.5" pulley with methinjection

 

Honestly, most increase per dollar is most likely going to be nitrous.
It can be argued both ways wether its a good way of doing or not.
Its definately not for me, but looking purely at HP-$ ratio, it is the most economical.

 

Its amazing. His floorboard dropped out and his car was SO fast it made a non ferrous metal SPARK!!! Dood his car awas liek SO FAST DOOD. NOS FTw<!

 

Sorry chief "Nitrous". Ofcourse it doesnt have to be 60 I just set that as a guideline to give people an idea of how much hp im looking to achieve.

I was just wondering if theres anything out there thats less expensive than the stage kits available.

Why is it so hard to get hp out of these cars? is the eaton holding it back? or is it something else

 

Your asking to increase your horsepower by about 40%. That is a pretty big change so I wouldn't call it hard to get horsepower. For under 1k you could run a 2.6, 60s, and a tune and get around there. I think that is pretty good.

 

You gotta watch using NOS because apparently it can cause your floor board to fall off. It's weird like that. Now I've never heard of anyone having that problem with nitrous though.

CAI is not a good bang for the buck mod on this car. The stock tube is fine actually if you just mod the airbox. You will see identical gains.


This car actually mods pretty well. Injectors, pulley, and tune and your looking at decent gains. If you are just after pure horsepower numbers that's the route to go with. Probabaly a Tag kit is your best bet. If you are after certain track times then you may be able to take a different route. If you do mounts, and traction bars you can probably drop a half second of your quartermile time. I hope to put that idea to the test pretty soon. I'll let you know.

 

cheap = slow

 

new motor ha

 

cheapest way hands down
