well if you want a supercharger, then just keep saving.

I made a priority list and price, then went down the list. All depends what you want to tackle first, performance or cosmetic? It's a disease so don't expect to stop anytime soon!

If you are wanting to do forced induction at some point you should knock out your supporting mods first. Long tube headers and some suspension upgrades would be a very good idea. Is your car a manual or auto?

[Nightmare2012]

An auto and i hear you last night I ordered some arh 2" with cats and pushrods with valvesprings and a trunion upgrade and idk if to go with eibach multi pro r2 coil overs or pfadt 2.5" adjustment coilovers

It would help to know what your current mods are. If you just purchased headers then that will be a great start.....headers and a tune. Best bang for the buck performance wise.

For an L99 I would then tell you to look at a transmission converter and trans cooler.

You also need to address your suspension if you want to put that power to the ground. Craddle bushings (or inserts), Trailing Arms (and bushings), Toe Rods, and a good Street Aggressive alignment (use the specs from Pedders or Pfadt). That should all come first before coilovers. However, coilovers are definately nice and you should put them on your "To Do" list. I've beaten a good handfull of Camaros with way more power at the track because they couldn't hook and I could (for the most part....still need some drag radials).

Gears are great as well. A real kick in the butt dyno. Makes stop light to stop light driving a hell of a lot of fun.

Don't forget to get an oil catch can if you plan to keep the car for a long time. Ported TB makes for good throttle response.

Not sure what valvesprings and a trunion upgrade are going to do for you unless you're about to drop in a cam. Personally I wouldn't change those out until you do add a cam. No need to go inside the more if it's stock.

Thanks for the advice i only have a k&n cai and axle back right now i ordered the lt headers so should be receiving those after xmas and i think im really going to invest the rest in suspension work even without the tune and cai its still tricky to hook up at the tracks

So many things to look at if you've got a good handful of cash to spend. Wheels/suspension is usually what I look to if you're just starting to modify!

What these 2 said is very sound advice..


All the power in the world doesn't mean shit if you can't use or put it to the ground. Really pay attention the the bolded area of caverman's post
