3800 Upgrading Advice will be noted...

[evastos]

Alright this is what I'm planning for upgrades on my Gt, WPI Ported Exhaust Manifolds, exhaust system(James Dean), u-bend delete(James Dean), down pipe(James Dean), and finally the best thing of all the Ass-SC(supercharger kit from ZZP). What do you Gt (GTP guys can respond as well ) guys think about this setup. I'm extremely interested to know what anyone might think about the WPI Ported Exhaust Manifolds. More future upgrades are Ram-Air Hood (undecided), replacement of Air-Filter setup with the Slp w/Ram-air option, and a complete paint job. The first part of upgrades will be completed ass soon as the ZZP SC kit is released. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

why not a turbo kit? Isnt it better than a SC?

 

[Royalgtp]

yes

The WPI manifolds are really nice, I just put a set of these on a guys '04 Impala SS at Christmas and he loves them! I would say that these are a nice supplement to putting headers on your car. I am sure that the manifolds will be sufficient for the extent of modding your are doing...

unless you go the turbo route.

if you can afford it I'd go with a turbo (i would have if I didnt already have all this supercharged stuff), f not ur setup idea sounds ok, only problem is that you'll wanna do alot more once you start.

$3000+ < less than $1000.

Sometimes its not about speed. Its about bang for buck. The M90 kit is that bang for buck.

Sounds like a great setup. Id wait for a PCM to see what ZZP does. I know they said they used an off the shelf DHP on their test car, but who knows what will happen.

1.9 rockers would be good too.

I think GTs will be content with low 14s with less than a grand invested. I really wish I had this option when I started.

Well this was the route I was goanna go, but when I heard about the ass-SC for under a $1000 I decided to go with it. First of all it's more affordable and gives me that extra money to spend on other things like appearance, but most of all it gives me an opportunity do buy an HD-trans from ZZP and all the other little upgrades I mentioned earlier. Who knows how long my Trans will hold up with this Kit, better safe than sorry.

Hey fish so does that mean your getting the ASS-SC kit?

No. Suspension and my credit are more important now. I gotta buckle down again since my roommate is moving out.
