  • What is my first/next step in hp production?

    Hey everyone on this site. I read this site absolutely everyday and find it to be very informative.
    I do still have some questions remaining though. My car is a pretty much a 99' stock camaro with only flomaster catback exhaust, manual fan switch, an air intake chip (aka resistor)"does nothing",appearance mods and a rocking sound system.
    And I also have the 4l60e but I adjusted the epc Electronic Pressure Control) valve to increase my line pressure, as well as flipped my 1-2 shift accumulator upside down in order to offer less resistance for the fluid to push against. This resulted in breakneck shifts a major ++! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
    Anyway to the point, Next week I am going to install pacesetter headers along with a 3" catco cat and a 3" s-pipe going to my flowmasters.

    I wanted to know what you good fellows on this board think that I should do next with my car and I'm going to have 3 or 4 grand to work with.
    I really want to do a turbo or supercharger but am not sure what all I would need to do it and what it could do to my car. Also if anyone has any good used aftermarket performance parts I may be interested in purchasing them.
    Email specs if you have them Wes_smith02@hotmail.com

      Hello,

      Lots of interesting parts show up in the "for sale" section including turbo, nitrous, and supercharger kits. I have had no problem buying and selling stuff there, although I try to do business with "regular" posters -- not the people who register just to sell junk and leave.

      Although I don't have a specific suggestion about what to do next, I would suggest hanging onto a chunk of that money to invest in whatever may break as you build up the car [transmission rebuild, for example]. Best of luck.
