any opinons of what mods I should do next on my 3.4L? I am at a blank...

Alright what do you think shoudl be my next mod?

I want it to be HP related or straight line related withou affecting my handling abilites.

I already have...

gears, LSD, intake, exhaust(no headers but not sure if they would be worth the hassle on my setup), pulleys, wires, plugs, lt1 driveshaft, 1Le tranny mount.

These things are not an option...
porting/polishing, cams, nitorus, super/trubocharger.

I might be able to do stuff with the TB, but not sure it woudl make a difference since I am not modifiying the upper intake plenum, which is roughly the same size as the TB.

Any ideas?

How about a set of SFC's? They aren't that expensive and it wouldn't hurt just to try them out It should give the car a different feel... and if worse comes to worse and you don't like em, just pull them off and put them up for sale.

drag tires are getting out of a $300 limit I am trying to set, and anyways I think they would hurt more then help.

jet chip has been sitting on my mind but alot of people are saying they have noticed no gains...


and LS6? I was gong to do that but it was jsut out of the $300 limit i set.

i bet you have never heard of a torque converter doing any good on an M5.

but yes if he had an automatic, a TC would be a great choice. a little costly but great choice.

tou see the thing is I ahve literally had ot do things to put backpressure into my exhaust setups, my thoughts is I don't need it any more free flowing, I think its possibel I might get a gain but I feel its may not worth the time and hassle of headers on my car since I have had the problem of too much freeflow.

Any ways you guys think I cna advacne my timeing?

also do you guys think I am at the limit of my ignition system? I checked it like 7 -8 months ago and my coils were in specs, and less then 5k on the wires and plugs. Think a DIS 4 might be worth it?

Also just a quick ghetto thought, any cahnce 3.8l coils prvide a little bit better spark then 3.4l coils? like say, we put some 3.8L coils on our 3.4L , as a mod? I know they are different jsut wasn't sure if they offered a better spark or not. just a 3am thought while I avoid studiying for finals.
