more bolt ons
i want to get a few more ponies out of my car with the bolt ons, so far, i have longtube headers, ory, hooker cat back, moroso cai, and tuned pcm. what are some other bolt ons i should add. looking to get around 290 or so to the wheels, right now im at 275. thanx.
Re: more bolt ons
If you have 275 rwhp with everything you mentioned with a t56 then fix whatever is wrong with your car before you throw more parts at it. If you fix it you have 30 rwhp to gain based on the average around here rather than spending money possibly adding to a problem.

Re: more bolt ons
Try the coil yet? or maybe it is the tune you got, worth double checking anyways... I would use a spark tester to test the coil unless you know of a better way. Check fuel pressure, too just in case.
Re: more bolt ons
A dirty fuel filter can suck power too. Unless you have replaced it, do that before anything else. They can also kill a fuel pump earlier if they get really bad.
As for dyno numbers, you should be around 290 with the mods you have with it running 100%. But for more bolts ons that could help you, get a 52mm ported throttle body. NOMAD on here I think still does this.

Re: more bolt ons
im gonna try the fuel filter. the car only has 65xxx miles, is that about right for a new fuel filter? i dunno but im fairly disapointed, and have been since the headers,ory, and tune. the second time i actually dynoed the 275rwhp with a untuned computer, and only made 271rwhp with the tuned pcm
Re: more bolt ons
i think if it was that bad i would notice, but i dont know. A/F from the dyno with the tuned pcm was good, right around 13 the whole time. but i lost 4rwhp, only difference was it was about 5 degrees outside, but the computer supposedly corrects for that. my gas mileage isnt were it should be either.
