Default have 800 what else should I buy?

thought I'd see if there are any bolt ons I can buy?? I already have my suspension done. mods are as follows for performance...

jet hot lt headers
jet hot ory
loudmouth2
fast toys 85mm lid
k&n
jaam
diablosport to tune/delete codes

i was thinking about a 85mm maf and asp underdrive and alternator pully (do I need the alt pully? its only 20 bucks but my car is almost new with 3000 miles)

wasn't looking at gears because I was thinking about eventually getting a new rear end and I'll put 4.11's in there. Should I just go with the maf and underdrive pully or is there something else I should buy and what else should I get? Any point of a 160 or 180 thermostat?

Not too knowledgeable so I would really appreciate the help. Looking at fast 92/92 along with 228r cam with prc stage 2.5 5.3L heads eventually so I guess I'm just looking for the things I need to do before I actually do those things.

If you want the 85mm lid, you will have to get the MAF. What about PP throttle body, and what year is your car? If you are quite a ways out from getting the FAST, you could get a ls6 intake and get some good gains. Also, I wouldn't get the diablo, but instead a full dyno tune.

the car is a 2001 with 3000 miles on it. I already have the 85mm lid with the 8 dollar connection thing that lets me use the stock maf. I was thinking 85mm lid to 85mm maf to 92mm tb/intake sounds a lot better then a 85mm lid to a 78mm maf to a 92mm tb/intake. What do you guys think? I am looking at getting fast 92/92 and heads/cam together at once. is there anyone that can recommend the things I need on top of the list of mods I have. I don't want to get an ls6 intake because why waste the money on that now if I know I'm going to get a fast eventually anyways. Help me get to the point where all I need is heads/cam and fast setup to finish my car performance wise.

Well you already have a ls6 intake, so don't worry about that. Get the full exhaust set up, and if you already have the lid on it, don't worry about the MAF unitll later. Some will tell you that you don't need it, others will say otherwise. If you feel that it is a choke point, change it when you do the 92/92. If you are close to getting the H/C/I, do the tune after all that instead of after the exhaust.

its a manual and AznMuscle I didn't even know that all 01/02's came with ls6 until you made that post!! thats crazy I almost thought about buying an ls6 intake and just porting my tb instead of going out and spending all that money on a fast 92/92. Now I'm considering just porting my tb and keeping the factory maf and the ls6 intake and just adding the heads/cam package. This is perfect. I'm pumped!

Do it. Step up to a ported FAST 92/92 later down the road for some extra power, but for the time being, ported stock TB and ls6 mani can still make good power.

IF your going to do the pulley, I would suggest getting an ATI. I had 2 ASP round out and start wobbling on me....and yes they were installed correctly.

Don't know of anyone around here having any problems with their ASP pulley. Just get the one that you can get a better deal on. Now start saving for a nice H/C package!
