Default Complete Bolt on List

Hey guys, since I'm not going with a head and cam, nitrous, or forced induction, my main focus is on my handling, and any and all bolt ons for my car. I've been working on this list for years and just want to throw it out in the open so anyone can add anything I forgot. I'm excluding upgrading the brakes at this point.

Engine
CAI ($200) [Fast Toys Ram Air]
Filter ($62) [K&N Air Filter]
Lid ($90) [Slp]
Maf ($176) [Slp]
Bellow ($62) [Slp]
Ported TB ($65) [Spartan Performance]
Intake Manifold ($450-$750) [LS6 or FAST]
Long Tubes/ Y-pipe ($500-$1350) [Pacesetter or American Racing]
Cat Back ($450-$1,000) [Magnaflow or Corsa]
Underdrive Pulley ($200) [ASP or Slp]
1.85 Rocker Arm Kit ($1,000) [Comp Cams or SLP]
Push Rods ($125) [Slp]
Electric Water Pump ($650) [Meziere]
Gears/ Install Kit ($375) [Slp]
160 Degree Thermostat ($54) [Slp]
Dyno Tune
($450) [Performance Shop]
Total = $4900-$6600


Chassis
Shocks ($400-$850) [AGX or Koni]
Springs ($240-$275) [Eibach or Strano]
Watts Link ($650) [Fayes2]
Strut Tower Brace ($125-$200) [Slp or BMR]
Lower Control Arms ($170) [BMR or Spohn]
LCA Relocation Brackets ($89) [UMI]
Sway Bar set ($439) [Strano]
Torque Arm ($275) [UMI]
3-Point Sub Frame Connectors ($300-$350) [Slp or UMI]
K-Member ($500) [BMR or Spohn]
A-Arms ($638) [UMI]

Total = $3800 - $4400



So basically you'll have a car with over 400hp at the motor and that can handle great if you put about $8700-$11,000 into it.

Why would you use a bellow and a ported throttle body?

The Watts Link eliminates the need for a panhard bar. I'll add the k-member and a-arms though!

1.85 rocker to gain more lift for some more ponnies! Really easy to do if you dont want to do a cam. Also u can do gears with some sticky tires

Thanks guys! All added to the list, except I'm gonna keep the LS6 on there instead of a FAST 92 since I won't be going head and cam/ nitrous/ or Forced Induction I don't think I'd get to truly Optomize it for the price.

A ported fast 92/92 set up has proven over 28rwhp over a stock ls6 without any loss down low. Also Definately Gears. At least 3.73 but I would go 4.10. Crazy seat of the pants improvement.

+1 get some nittos nt555's on the rear tires so that ur stock rims hook up at the track /street . the most noticeable mods have ben listed always buy the parts that are adjustable and when you put your torque arm in i highly suggest edelbrock torque arm ..Fyi always locktite every bolt your bolting back up they usually come with new bolts 2
Good luck modding and get what u need your tires too hook first so u can have fun while actually hooking up the rear tires

This should explain it, it sucks air from the bottom front of the car to a hole that is cut under the air filter in the air box
