so i have my intake, catch can, and t-stat all in. i am looking to make big horsepower but have to get there slowly. what performance mod or 2 should be next??? tune?headres?? what should my next 3 or 4 steps be??
1.) Heads, Headers, and Cam
2.) Then you NEED a tune and at this point I would highly suggest a Dyno tune
3.) Upgraded T-case (stock one IMO will not cut it at this point)
4.) Builder Bill ValveBody
im thinking cmr, then eibachs and woody links to help a lil with my 60 times. then the headers and exhaust. then keep that for a lil and do a few more visula mods. then start the big powers mods. i.e. heads headers cams, vavlebody, t-case, t-converter. then maybee a blower.......
If you want "big horsepower", then forced induction would be the way to go. Otherwise, you're gonna spend a lot of $ for heads/cam and everything that goes with it (i.e. headers/tuning), and your tractability will suffer...
You can do all the bolt-ons though and get a good gain and do it in pieces. I imagine you could get to the high 300's in the hp dept. (assuming 5.7) and make for a nice engine. These things respond well to most of the typical "BO's", but are still limited if you want serious power (To me, that would be 150+ hp gain) until you change the major items...Remember though, to get the best 'package', you'd want to think about changing your torque converter as well and it's a shame we don't have any selection of gearing for the diffs. I have idea the limit of our drivetrain either, so keep that in mind, as well.
Does anyone know if there are any aluminum lightweight crank pulleys for the 5.7? I have made this mod to other rides I had with great results and it's a pretty simple and cheap mod
