which mods next??

What next?....i have a 2000 SS 6 speed that has these mods:
160 t-stat
LS1 motorsports Air Lid
K@N
Free ram air mod
Ported mass air ends
smooth bellow
throttle body bypass
free EGR mod
cutout

what should i do next? i was real disappointed with my first dyno run with these mods, it only went 308 rwhp, and 323TQ...it is also only going 13.7 @106 in the quarter....what mods do you suggest next?...keeping the limited funds in mind.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

What Mods Next?

I would say the following would be a good place to start.

1) Catback Exhaust
2) Headers
3) Drag Radials
4) Heavy duty clutch
5) Cam

These would be a good start.

I would definately do a catback next. You have all that induction stuff to get your car to breath before the engine and now you need to let it breath on the other end.

get the catback, an Slp Loudmouth is probably the best bang for the buck and gears. 3.73 for an A4 and 4.10s for an M6 depending on what you have. Those will spruce up your 1/4 mile times nicely.

Given your 106mph trap speed but your 13.7 ET, I'd say work on traction! A new clutch, drag radials, lower control arm relocaton brackets, and lots of practice driving. With that trap speed you should be running low 13's. You must have crappy 60ft times ~ 2.3 ish???? Practice driving - it's your cheapest mod More HP and FT-LBS will just make you spin the tires more.

get your throttle body ported, another good idea is long tube headers.

Yea my 60 ft times are in the 2.3 range, an occasional 2.4 which i know is terrible...all my runs to date are on street tires so i think i might borrow a set of drag radials. You guys really think i need a catback exaust?....i already have a exaust cutout, shouldnt that be enough?

Supersucker and a Qwik Stick. the Supersucker for more cold air and the Qwik Stick for quicker shifts. You won't be missing any shifts with the Qwik Stick.

Yeah I'd agree with the Supersucker. I felt a definite SOTP difference. When the car was sitting still I put a cigarette down by the mouth of it and you could see the smoke being sucked into it. Pretty cool.

I'm assuming you still have stock pipes, so get some mandrel bent 3" pipes to go w/ the cut-out. Short shifter also (or so SS's already come w/ one? I dunno )

And yeah, a cam would put out some numbers you should like I'm sure.

The Supersucker is a cold air induction kit. Speed inc and LM Performance are just a couple of the sponsors that sell them.
