welcome first off what are you goals and what power are you looking to make? i would say start off with your basic intake, header, and exhaust or a nice suspension setup but if you already have that is depends on if you want to go NA or FI... where are you located?
gsr hey thanks for responding. well i got some buddy club cam gears on there and theres a huge intake manifold called skunk something also has headers and a straight pipe exhaust it moves ok but i want like 275 horsepower iam in miami florida
You aren't going to get 275whp N/A. Well at least not cheap. I'd look into a turbo kit. Maybe piece one together to get your goal of 275whp which is very attainable with a decent kit.
ok so what would be the best lbs of boost ? can i get 350 horsepower safe and can i keep my a/c ? also what about my stock internals ? stock fuel tranny etc..
