any suggestions for mod ideas?

what i have...

4.10 gears
trickflow upper intake plenum
trickflow 75mm throttle body
bbk cai
bbk headers
mac prochambered mid pipe
flowmaster dual exaust


someone told me to look into a electronic water pump which is a option....

i was thinking about getting some stage 1 cams...

i also saw a roush supercharger on ebay for 750 which i thought was cheap even though i have read the roush superchargers arent as strong as others...

if i got the roush supercharger what would i need to go along with it ? fuel rails and intake manifold i need to do more research maybe you guys can help though

thanks for your time - nick:smash:

are you a auto or manual? From where you are now, I would say 1- a tuner, and then do some work on the suspension and brakes. Adding power is fun, yes, but it sucks when you can stop or turn it!

Have you done the rear control arms yet? If not, do it and do away with the quad shocks...Major improvement. I don't think the electric waterpump is worth the money for the very little it would give you. If you were building a full out race motor, than I would say yes. Cam's look like your next step. I beleive stage 1's in any brand are really the only ones that you can use without modifying the stock internals. Unfortunatley, they didn't leave us very much PTV to do bigger cam upgrades like the old small block windsors did.

ouch. This makes me so glad I paid attention to my father and older brother when I was younger when they were working on cars and makes me even more happier that my father made me participate and do any repairs to my vehicles myself. I'll be sure to thank them when I talk to them lol.

nOTHING SHORT OF A SUPERCHARGER KIT IS GOING TO MAKE ANY APPREACIABLE GAINS for the $$$ involved.. sorry for caps.

Dont go for a "used" kit. Its not worth the hassle you will go thru trying to get it all to work and scrounge up parts u r missing IMHO. For $4g you can install a nice NEW SC kit in a weekend your self. Then have a pro tune it. You can almost double your HP. After that not much sense of going further because the you will need forged internals. which at that point just get a crate motor.

What FrostByte said!

$750 for a used supercharger is screaming "stay away!"

Get a dyno tune, that hand held tuner didn't do shyt, trust me. That will cost you around a nickle though. Change the front to coil-overs and put control arms in the rear to start off with. You will go faster and it will handle mucho better. Much better investment.

New kits are more than $4000, more like $4500. You could buy complete used SC kits for $2000, maybe a little more. Just have to know what your buying, and from who is always better. $2000 saved is alot.

If you go supercharger later you will be removing those steeds pulleys and putting stock back on. I have a slightly used set I'll sell you for cheap because I already went that route. Just supercharge for power, its most cost effective. Even the 75mm TB is unnecessary for forced induction. It can stay but is passive in forced induction.
