There is not many more mods that you can do . If you were to mod more i'd do .

1 ) Gears maybe 373's or 410's

2) Throttle body 52mm

3) I know you wanted to leave the heads alone but some 1.6rr and springs would be a nice add .

Just my .02

i say ditch the pullies idea...but that is an option you could do, esp if u dont wanna touch the heads...

no n20? just to have it there "just in case"?

hehe visa= maxed out...

i'm glad i spent the money i had and not used credit cards and max thehm out on mods. if i did that, i dang, i could have a 383 right now. that'd be hella sweet being a college kid...but then again i dont want my car to make that much power

I really don't race my car...so that's why I don't really need N2O or even gears....I guess I could stiffen my suspension........

Start doing things like Lower Control Arms with Relocation Brackets, Subframe Connectors, and a Panhard Rod and u'll have much more traction so u can get all that Horsepower to the ground quicker.

Why no work on the heads? That is where power is made. The throttle body won't do diddly, and underdrive pullies do just that, underdrive things... I would port and polish the heads, new springs and roller rockers. And then get a computer tune.

If you ever do decide to try the track get some drag radials and you will have a blast.
