Not that im complaining, but please make a seperate thread if you want to discuss catted vs catless y-pipes and tweecer vs other. I know I asked a question about chips and y-pipes, but I didnt expect it to go that far! But thank you to everyone that helped :sun:
Just about anything you want... If you're not going to mess with timing, you're really missing out. The stock timing curve is horrible.
Yes it probally is, but when it comes to cars, im more mechanical type of person, I know why every other mod gives it power, but when it comes to stuff like timing and computer controlled things, im ********, and wont be able to do a thing myself.
If you are happy with the SHO as is (power wise), leave it as is. You can easily spend more on mods than it will cost to get another complete SHO. Having owned around 9-11 SHO's, from stock to 500hp turbo beasts, I can without a doubt say that I would concentrate on brake/suspension mods before I would touch anything power wise. You will enjoy good suspension and brakes immensely more than what that same money will buy you in HP. If you do decide that you need more HP, a good y-pipe, the BBB's and ported runners and UDP's are not a bad way to go. Not enough changes that you absolutely need a new tune, but enough to notice a difference in power output. That said, NONE of those items are needed for FI. In fact, the y-pipe will need to be ditched, assuming you go the turbo route (and why would you do anything else!). You would not want to waste your money on those mentioned items, as what you will really need is the following: Tweecer, injectors, fuel pump, FPR. With those items (and of course the turbo system), you can easily make 350chp all day every day.
But back to the beginning of this post, f you are happy with the SHO as is (power wise), leave it as is.
Thank you for your input, I already have new struts and a FSTB, mabye RSTB soon. Im not big on doing fast turns, so if the car can safley turn without flipping and have a nice ride im happy.
Brake wise, again, as long as the breaks work and such, I dont plan on doing 100 mph to full stops, just enough that when I hit the brakes, I know its braking nicely.
Looks like the Y-Pipe is the biggest thing to do, so ill get that out of the way asap.
The ported intake runners, besides giving performance, look sexy when you get them back all painted, and im a terrible self-painter so id rather have someone else do it! (ShoSource) and as long as the runners are out, might as well do the BBB's.
The UDP is pretty simple to do, so im def going to do that when I get the money.
to get back on topic....
no mod is FINANCIALLY worth it.
if you want to do it, go for it, its already been explained that everything'll swap over to a 3.2 if you do go that route later.
Haha thanks, yea the more I think about it the more I realize that.
my life dosent depend on the debate like mister so and so. I love SHOs they pay my mortgage
. The tweecer was first but the runabilty wasent ther for city driving. The tunning shops around Virgina Beach laughed at us so out dated need to be a computer geek to use it which im not,and spent hours and hours on a dyno tunning to get right so we got the WOT set and had the safc on a shelf put it on and the city driving was good set the safc WOT to zero so it wouldnt afect the tweecer BFD
