what can i do to get more hp
Ok guys I am saving to get a NX wet kit but what else can i do to gain hp without doing heads and cam? Here are my mods now. 93 z 28 M6
SLP CAI, Trick Flow Elbow, 160* stat, Pacesetter Long Tubes, 3" ORY no cats, SLP Loudmouth, AIR!, EGR!, Strange 4.10's,
I mean do pulleys actually make hp? Also what about ignition? What can i do to make more hp?

Re: what can i do to get more hp
Get some lower control arms and some relocation brackets. It will put a little more power to the wheels and help eliminate some wheel hop.
A good set of roller rockers can give you about 10-15hp with a stock cam, and more with a bigger one.
Pulleys can add about 10hp by reducing the amount of drag on engine accessories.
O yeah don't buy the tornado its a POS
Good Luck

- Electric Water Pump - Dyno proven 10 rwhp/rwtq
- ASP 23% Crank Replacement Pulley - In my opinion the only underdrive pulley worth buying. Most people report .1-.2 in the 1/4. It replaces the whole balancer unlike crappy piggyback pulley's.
- 1.6 Ratio roller rockers - I like Pro Mags but GMPP types work fine for medium to stock cams. I've seen anywhere from 8-14rwhp from these. You'll need the right studs/springs, etc.
- 58mm Throttle Body - Normally I wouldnt recommend this to a bolt on guy, but since your spraying you'd probably see a gain from getting more air in for the N2O HP.
- Ignition - might be good to help with adjusting timing, etc for the N2O, but not the first thing on my list.

What are your goals redington? 11.99 at 110 in the 1/4? That's doable and streetable. No, the Tornado alone won't get you the 110 mph.
You make more useful power by processing more air thru your engine. Save your $ for heads and cam. You are probably spending it on gas with 4.10s, huh?
When you have more power than you can put to the gound, consider chassis mods. The stock Camaro does a pretty fair job of getting the power down.
Hang around.

If you've got air and egr deleted you probably already have to have some computer work done so make sure you're not wasting your money and doing a tune twice.
