list of mods

if you were to make a detailed list of all the engine mods to do to your SC....what would it be in chronological order?? I know exhaust would be first, but then it gets a little sketchy with OD pulleys, intake plenums, MAF, chips, larger throttle body etc

thanks for your time

Re: ok...

removed air silencer
added:
cold air induction kit (goes thru fender wall)
jerry chip
bypass hose blocked
32PP plugs gaped to .045
removed resonator
3.55 gears with traction lock pumpkin (have gears, gotta get the pumpkin from vernon)
 
Re: ok...

ahahaha, way to go David, make everyone feel inadequate ;)
 
Re: ok...

Sheesh, nice list there, :p

Where is your list Darryl, I wanna see it too, :)
 
Re: ok...

Darryl:

I didn't realize the list was that long until writing it all down. I would have saved a ton by stopping at 13.8 (my original goal) instead of changing it to 12.8. No wonder my wife has cut off the car funding for a while.

David
 
Re: ok...

Mods in order that I would do them if I were to do it again....

1.
180 degree thermostat and rewired cooling fan.
remove resonator
APP103 (colder plugs)
big fan of homemade ram air
CAI of some sort
73-76MM mass air
5% pulley
upgrade rear end gears
block SC bleeder hose

That will get you solidly into the 14's, won't break the bank, and won't affect reliablilty.

2.
Underdrive pulleys
2.25" X-pipe and move the cats back to the rear end of the tranny (or remove them altogether)
Headwork and cam
Port exhaust manifolds

Now you have spent some good change, but the result is a much more fun-to-drive car, and lower boost. Probably about 9psi. Car should run low 14's.

3.
42lb injectors and 255lph fuel pump
75MM TB and a blower upgrade of choice
aluminum flywheel/CF clutch or high stall converter and lentech
IC upgrade

Now your car will be running mid 13's and will require DR's or better to hook up. It can still be a stock bottom end, but you are at about the limit. You will be looking at engine management in a whole new way, and the prospect of going much faster gets a little ominous.


Did I miss anything important?
 
Re: ok...

5% pulley worth it
Densecharger CAI w/ Kand N filter worth it. ( same as all the other inlets/airboxes)
Flowmaster FOrce II cat back system nice sound
cats removed replaced with 2/1/4 in tubes

15.212@91.1mph
 
Re: ok...

What about a raised top and EEC tuner Dave? Where would those fit in?

Heres my combo for now:

SCP Intake: Sorta worth it, not much more power increase than just removing the silencer. A little more SC whine.
EEC Tuner: Not worth it stock unless you can get a good deal on it (I did) and like messing with idle and fan settings.
B&M Ripper Shifter: Easily worth it, quicker, more precise shifts. Feels more solid than stock.

Results:
15.213 at 92.24mph on my fourth 1/4mile run ever. Im hoping for a sub-15sec time with some better tires in the next few weeks.
 
thanks guys

thanks for all the replies...im slowly learning quite a bit

quick question: what type of intake is best for the money??

thanks for your time
 
Re: thanks guys

Travis - they don't.

Boomin Boy - I prefer the ZR motorsports although I have a MAC and it seems to work well. As far as a ram air goes, ya gotta build your own.

borla vs dynomax

SweetSC- you said you changed from dynomax to borla...did you really like the difference?? Is it worth the price to pay more for borla performan
