Try these two free mods:

Free Ram Air

Mafapalooza!--ported MAF

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/D...20/mafmod.html

Hope these help you out! You might consider a decent cat-back exhaust system too....

I would say to invest in a good stall-converter to get those times down and then some Long-Tube headers. Have you also considered the Fast Toys Ram Air kit? I would do the pulley along with the cam and heads all together--much easier that way. Also, you will only have to tune your car "1" time if you do the H/C together.

I know my car is an M6, but heck today it put down 375 RWHP and 365 RWTQ (still has a little more left in it) with no tunning and stock limiter. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> Oh, and it was raining out too so, that effected the humidity a bit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> From what I gather, when I add my ASP pulley and Shanner Throttle body and raise the limiter I should be right around 390-400 RWHP <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Convertor! Depending on what you get, you can expect to see .5sec off your time!

fla00Z28:

If you don't have access to ATAP then here is a document of the bump stop mod that only requires a volt-meter.

Try: www.ls1camaro.net/throttlestop.htm

Hope that helps, and good luck modding your car <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Default Re: whats the best mod to go with next

thanks for all the help guys. I am new to this site, and really appreciate your help. I did neglect to mention that I already have the free ram air mod, but I am going to go ahead and get the raim air kit from fast toys, and i will do the t/b thottle stop mod. From there the tranny and converter, and hopefully alot more after that. Thanks again, and if you have anymore ideas please let me know
