Underdrive Pully, you could change ur MAF to TSP's 100mm one when it comes out, Electric Water Pump, and MSD coil packs if you absolutely have nothing else to do and you have lots of extra cash. If youve got the stock 2.73's, some 3.73's would do you some good. And if you plan on doing H/C you could upgrade youre intake to a FAST 92mm and throttle body when it comes out, or you can just get the 90mm, shouldnt be too much of a big diff unless youre running big cam/heads

true, but if has absolutely nothing else to do and a spare $620 to spend he could buy them which is a complete rip. and as for the 100mm maf he could get one if he plans on running a big H/C later on

That 100mm maf is too ridiculous. Run a Delphi/ZO6 and that will hold down major power. I don't know why your talking about monster over-sized parts when the guy said that he could not think of any more mods and heads and cam are no where to be found in his post. Even then, it would take forced induction with 15-30#'s of boost to even think about changing....and at that point you would be looking at carburated setups and or BS3.

1970 GTO orbit orange Judge 400cid
1969 GTO black 400cid
1971 GTO blue 400cid
1970 GTO convertible red 400cid
I'd look into getting a custom made 400cid just to stay consistent.

i still say stick with the normal bolt on's, and gears like camaroz28aquino said...and get a tune, you will like where you are sitting..if you need more, then look into h/c...still need more..bigger cube or s/c that bird or both!

set up a plan of mods man...gotta do it in stages if you are on a budget like the majority of us...start with one area, such as, engine, then break it down in stages...stage 1:exhaust, stage 2:intake ect ect..that is what i am doing
My suggestion would be to lose the ported maf. My car gained 7 hp on the dyno from switching from my ported maf to a stock one that was only descreened. The dyno operator suggested it. So I went along and was glad he pointed it out. If you port or replace the maf ends your car it will not measure the incoming air correctly.

I just did these the exact same mods except for the stall, I have an M6.
Deffintly get a dyno tune, I took mine to get dyno'd and my A/F Ratio was way off. It was between 17-18 and should be around 12.8 range.
My first run was 306hp/315tq! Bad, very bad, we did another run, same thing, then Mike tricked the MAF with some type of tuner and the car put out 350hp/355tq on the last run!
I am going back down today so he can do a full dyno tune. At first, I was trying to get away w/o having to do this, but after all this work, that 50hp diffrence is what it is all for. I know each car is different but the tune is a must do with the combo of all these mods. I had descreened my MAF and I think this was the possible culprit of my A/F messup, and if you ported yours, you may experience the same problem.
