SKUNK2 Intake Manifold, 10.2mm Spark Plug Wires, Racing Spark Plugs, anyone else can give you a better list.
The more grounding you have in your car to the motor the better spark you get as well.
thanks very much. Any one else have any input to help me?
Go back to stock intake..... It produces more torque which is more important than hp in an automatic...
what kind of exhaust system do you have.. is it a cat back or all the way to the headers?
change the tranny from auto to 5 speed.
Not completely tue. You can build a n/a z6 and put down good power and then don't have to worry near as much about blowing s**t with boost. Bisimoto cam,valves/springs and good intake manifold will set you up with good bit of power.
if ur gonna do that, get retainers too and some arp studs
True because his valves and cams actually require use of his retainers. Bisi is a prime example whith his 150mph 1/4 mile pass that an sohc can make power n/a. Granted he has a s**t ton of money in it and it is an insight but still.
read what i said carefuly. i didnt say you cant make power with a na z6. ive seen a few running 400 plus. thats the point i was making. if you want to spend $10000 - $20000 to build a na z6 by all means do it. youll get the numbers your looking for. but the very same numbers can be reached for as little as $3000 with boost.
You said the only way to make power is boost. Boltons do absolutely nothing. Thats where i said not true. Unless your refering to cai and exhaust your right but the on a bseries they are basicly useless as well. For a good boost kit you will spend around $2000 (if done right) and I am not talking hagard ass parts on top of the $1000 for the swap. Which leads me to wondering why you cant buy a good cam,intake mani and a few more mods and you'll have plenty of power without f**king anything up. I am not saying your gonna put down 400 hp but he said he only wanted a little more power not a street/track car.
Again read what i said carefully.
yes they can make power without boost but it will cost much much more to match the numbers if you go the na route. also the reason i said 3k for a decent turbo setup was because you have to factor in tuning. dyno time isnt cheap.
