Hey! i drive a 05 impala LS (3800)I have FWI and U-bend delete and figured since we all have the same car engine/trans might as well join!
my buddy has 03 9c1(stock) and he keeps bashing saying his lower gear ratio will whoop me. but i got some mods but i want to make sure i walk him being n/a. what mods do you think i should get(ive read safely modding your 3800 etc) my question is what my next cheapest mod for best gain?
HV3?
Headers?
cam
rockers
so much to choose from!
oh my car has had full tune up also!
 


er rockers + hv3 + 2.5in dp (might go 3in if you want) + plog (or skip downpipe and plog and get headers, speeddaddys for example), get a tune. yeah, you also could get a cam.

but consider this: all the above mods are barely gonna let you touch gtp levels of performance, and for the price for the above you might as well get yourself a topswap going. with headers and a good tune you could easily run a bit over what stock gtp's make and be set for future mods to squich more power from the blower you jost put on.

also, read this like 50 times.

oh ya ive read that a ton before i actually became a member hear, that when i decided to get a full tune up :)
thing is i dont come across $400-800 cash that often, still have 1 year till the car is paid off, so i figure ill just do a mod here and there and stay n/a, and my best bud is a licenced mechanic with his own shop so we did my FWI and u-bend for $50.00 lol!(parts and taxes included).
I dont want to get a tune yet cause i want to add more parts before tune. so whats going to give me the biggest gain without having to tune it yet? you can get speedy daddy headers for under $300 on ebay now!
