It's hard to get hp fast. Have you thought about some bolt on's, maybe some LT's maybe gears. If your game why not get a decent shot of nitrous? There are plenty of different things you can go with in this broad catagory.

the quickest advantage I can think of is some sticky tires.

othere than that, you can juice her or throw in some bolt-ons like LTs

or maybe just get a stock tune and you can wake up some horses

"Stage 1" is what, lid, cai, and exhaust? my memory is foggy. If so just get an ls6 intake, headers, you can port your throttle body too, underdrive pulley would also be an option. And take some weight outta your car while youre at it

Im not sure what this whole computer deal is though, lol

Throw a bottle on it and be done. Nothing like a 150 shot.

Well if you've got a stock car, your computer and tune are fine. If you're equal drivers, he's probably edging you out cause he's got better intake. Ported maf/tb, gears and an ls6 intake would put ya ahead.

When he is sleeping swap his intake with yours, that should do it. Just kidding, long tubes and a ls6 would be the way I ould go

Its not a HP mod but if you need to be faster quickly... I'd cut weight from the car. take out the rear set belts and seats, spare, jack, front sway bar, AC, emissions stuff. Then get some sticky tires. possibly even get some light weight front runners to knock even more weight off the nose. These are all quick mods that will net better launches and a better power to weight ratio. Other than that do as the other sugested.. LT headers, spray, if its an A4 stall and sticky tires, a gear and sticky tires if its an M6. There is tons you can do.

LT's, ported throttle body, and an LS6 intake sounds just about right

You'd think you were driving a different car after that!

Yup...full exhaust will really wake it up. If you want something a little less noticeable you can go for an LS6 intake.......




or a Halo spraybar kit

the question of getting fast HP is pretty borderline retarded.

I would say if you want to be subtle about it, where he really couldn't tell you did anything go stall and gears if your an auto, if your a M6 then get 4.10s and some sticky tires and roll out on him!
