What mods now??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im back to a 2800 stall and a cut-out...

I had a 3500 and 373s but demodded and decided to keep the car

I dont think Im gonna go with the gears again unless I find a great deal so basically I just have a 2800 stall and a cutout.


I though a catback(borla) would be nice but would I be able to feel a difference?? and also I was told to holdoff on a ls6 intake till Im making over 400hp, what were some good mods to add on?

Hey 5.7

You're one of the few I've heard who ever went DOWN in stall speed.

Why? Was 3500 too much with nitrous, or your gears?

Thanks for the info.

Mike

LONG story...

I demodded to sell the car but decided against that

Then found a great deal on this 2800 and love it just as much!

A catback is a great investment. Personally, I would never get the Borla because I would never spend that much money on a cat-back. I have Magnaflow; it is stainless steel like the Borla and sounds GREAT. I got it for 400 dollars, I believe Borla is 700.

I would also look at suspension mods (Lower control arms, Sub-frame connectors <---great mod etc) and a Lid is also a great idea.

Hope this helps some. Good luck!
