I have 107,000 miles, which is why I was looking at shocks just because of the mileage. But my OEM are still okay.

If I add a smaller upper pulley I would be over 600. But…I had belt slip during the dyno. So my thought to change the pulleys includes 8 rib setup, and while I am doing that it can handle a 10% damper. Should get to 13 psi or in that neighborhood.

Or port the snout and get a 103mm TB, would put me over 600.

Camshaft, would also put me over.

I run E85.

I hope you have trailing arms and toe rods on your list of suspension upgrades. With more HP, you could wheel hop easily and *pop* goes some parts (axles, diff). Then differential bushings (poly) would be a good supporting add after the two above. Then, I think you'd be good (for the time being).

That was my thought, coilovers, trailing arms and maybe some bushings in the rear. Probably sway bars.

I have looked at chassis braces and an engine bay brace. I don’t think I will go that far, I’m not doing autocross.

I have a pair of low mile BMR trailing arms I was about to post up for sale if interested? Hammer tone finish with poly bushings.

Possibly, I haven’t decided if I am going that route yet. If I do I will PM you.
