Re: more hp

Well, you could go for a more aggressive cam as the LT4 cam is kinda mild. Forced induction is another route. (turbo/supercharger)

Do you want more power to go faster or just bigger numbers on a dyno?? Maybe some suspension mods to help you put the power to the ground. I think you cars power mods are pretty good. I would personally go the suspension mod route.

JMHO

Re: more hp

Money will play the biggest part. If you have the funds and time available, and want to stay away from no2, then I reccomend going Forced induction like me. However it is a butt load of money, and if you are looking for a cheaper and easier way to make not so much HP, I would agree with CanadianZ and say go with a more agressive cam, and perhaps a good tune.

Re: more hp

Ehhh, in reality, at the point your at, the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable way to go faster IS with N20.

But if your that set against it, go with a bigger cam, better heads.

Or a LOW psi blower kit. Otherwise your gonna be crying on here 2 weeks later when your ring lands **** themselves.

And one quick thing I noticed. Do yourself a huge favor and get Pro 5.0 shifter for your car. Easy install, and it makes a BIG difference.
