what to do next???

I just installed the 15% alta pulley, and i have K&N cold air intake... I was wondering what else i could do to get more power, BESIDES EXHAUST AND A CRANK PULLEY. I will get exhaust done sometime but for now im just going to keep it stock

See https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t=55669&page=2 post #26.

I believe SpiderX hit it correctly. Finish the first level with catback and a chip.

If you go to the next level, you really need to do it all at once because the incremental gains are NOT the sum of the whole for Level 2. In other words, for example, adding a TB will do nothing. Adding headers will do something but not as much as with a new head, etc. He got it right.

Ditch the Typhoon, get an Alta intake! Crank pulley is very much worth it.... other than that something that adds grins and makes everyone ask what it is....

www.lightinsight.com Best mod under $20 guys!

Mod that made the biggest difference in my engine after the supercharger pulley was the lightweight crank pulley. I highly reccomend it.

The pulley allows the engine to rev much faster and smoother.
