need help with performance parts??/
ok i got a 95 z m6, these are the performance parts that i have on the car right now. catback exhaust, gutted cat, mac headers, 1.6 rr, double valve springs, hardend pushrods, lt4km, 150 dry shot, msd 6a ignition, msd coil, taylor plug wires, irridium plugs, 52mm holley tb, tb bypass, front sway bar removed, no sparetire and jack, egr blocked, air pump gone, fan relay, k&n cai, 3.5 steel driveshaft, moser 12bolt rearend w/3:73 gears, qa1 front and rear suspension, mickey tompson et streets, 5pt rollbar. i think thats it. what i want to know what else is there that i can do to make it go faster? nothing thats a long process like porting heads, intake, or new cam. just something that i could do in a short time. the only things i could think of is under drive pulleys and different mass air flow sensor!!

You could get a high flow cat for some better exhaust flow or just gut the cat. You could get some SFC's for better traction and a torque arm. You basically have all the basic bolt on's, so the only thing that would make a big difference would be to put a cam in.

how bouts an electric waterpump?
and long tubes instead of those macs...maybe a nice free flowing 3" true duals setup...
what kind of tuning do you have? stock or custom? look into madwolf or www.pcmforless.com

I would say since you have a lot done and don't want to do a cam or heads, you should start to get some traction and suspension. You should invest in some LCA's, SFC's, relocation brackets, and maybe a panhard. BMR makes great suspension products.

lca's made a dramatic improvement on wheel hop on my car... granted i was just spinning the crappy tires, but they spun smooth not jumpy from wheel hop.
i'd look into those and some relocation brackets to get some better traction, and also the torque arm that was mentioned...or at least install a polygraphit ta mount...
