Default Want to Go Faster N/A

i want to go faster n/a but i only have a few things left to do, but out of the things left what will give me the biggest gains
mods:
free mods
slp lid
k&n air filter
slp lid
shanner s3 ported throttle body
ls6 intake manifold
edelbrock long tubes
ory
cut out be for moroso sprial flow muffler
9" 3.90s
42Lb injectors
232/234 cam

i just got some n20 its a dry 78mm plate so a 90/90 is out of the queston. but would a under drive pulley or some type of ram air from fast toys be the best way to go or could i get the bigger lid and maf and i dont think an ewp is for me dont want to spend that much.

I know you said you dont want to spend much but the cost to power ratio doesn't seem worth it to me. Have you thought about saving for some heads?

At the very least get a lid. I like the SLP ram air kit, FTRA is slightly better but more $$.

There is a thread debating it right here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/971896-85-mm-lid-maf-gains.html

But here is my thought. If you get a FAST 90/90, why would you keep your stock 75mm MAF and Lid???? To me that would be a bottle neck. Less air getting in.

So it does make sense to get the 85/85 combo. I will be doing that in the next day or so.

I have my home made version of FTRA and i too have an UDP..

you can but would need a coupler at the end of your lid to mate up with the front of the MAF....

I still have my A/C, so the one you have look identical to mine. Now the one that Chris3113 has is a lot bigger. He does not have A/C anymore. So his opening is WAY bigger...
