new guy from bama hey yall im new to this site but I've got a 2002 trans am that's pretty basic and stock. haven't done much add ons yet but would like to in the very near future. just hoping I can get some good ideas and tips on what works and don't work. any advice would be greatly preciated. thanks.
How far from Huntsville?
Lid- They are all the same as far as SLP whisper etc... 60-70$ used and 85-95 new
Search for "free mods"... TB bypass, free ram air, ported TB...
chrs1313 ram air
85mm MAF
LTs ORY (get one with a nice merge) cutout and muffler of choice
tune
That rough guide should net you 350+Rwhp and is relatively cheap in the modding world, everything but the exhaust just about anybody that can change oil can do those mods. The exhaust can be done with a few simple tools, on the ground, in about 5 hours with a helping hand, even for your first time.
Welcome... And you should probably get someone to help you on your addiction that is about to start. LOL

Porting TB and the bump stop mod allow the TB to open 100% and a bit better throttle response, "crisp" if you will. I wouldn't hope for too much HP gain off that, 1-3HP possibly.
If you look at the bottom of a stock lid and compare to an aftermarket you will see why the factory is so restrictive. It usually is good for 5-7Rwhp.
