Doing the heads is only the cost of the heads if you are also replacing any lifters. That's why I did it as I replaced the AFM lifters.

Those are real good numbers seeing that you have a l99 with 6psi. Op's 1le will probably see the 600 mark especially if he gives it more boost.

hammdo · 02-17-2015, 02:22 PM

Yep, I kept the stock pulley setup. If I upgraded, I would have been closer to 630 RWHP. It is a fun car to drive for sure...

Thanks!

Just to note:

Numbers are just that, numbers. How the car performs from the base setup is really what counts. Can't wait to see the results...

Robbs1le · 02-17-2015, 02:32 PM

ya ive been too caught up in the numbers and what will the car do in a 1/4 mile scenario. this car will be at least 150 rwhp more than anything i've ever owned so I think it will be plenty fun for me!!

hammdo · 02-17-2015, 02:57 PM

Save some $ for suspension mods too ;o)

-Don

Robbs1le · 02-17-2015, 02:59 PM

Those and the trailing arm bushings for sure. Probably Sub Frame bushings. I did practically the engine rear suspension along with 1LE upgrades too.

I'd suggest talking to JDPTyler as he really helped me dial mine in. I had bolt ons and decided to do my suspension and brakes first before adding more power. I'm glad I did.

You can probably get by with the Trailing Arms/bushings before going farther...

Using subframe bushings and arm upgrades will help. Maybe some carbon mounts like i did to keep the upper arms straight. Your going to make some power with that thing. Blower , cam, and compression works. I saw the car earlier. Looking good going back together.

Got a great deal on the fronts and rears -- couldn't pass it up...

And I couldn't agree more about ADM -- fantastic place...

I'm as excited as you about your upgrade -- I know the feeling all to well. When you hear the whine of the SC for the first time -- wow...

We are blessed on this forum with fantastic sponsors and places to choose -- gotta love that...
