    I need help people!!!!!

    Ok, I have an 06 GT with a Saleen S/C pushing 10lbs, GT Dual Fuel Pumps, 90MM MAF, Saleen Extreme Intake Tube, Full Borla Exhaust (LT Headers, Off Road X, Cat Back w/ S types), 39lb Inj, and a few other odds and ends. It's an automatic AND WILL BE STAYING THAT WAY!!!! I want more power. Lots more power. I'm pretty sure i want to stay away from nitrous. What direction should I go???? I know I need wheels/tires, a good suspension kit, gears, and brakes. Specifically, what should I look at for these things, and more importantly, what should I do to add power???

    Well if you want more power you need more boost, but if your on the stock block you don't want to crank up the boost anymore due to the lack or forged internals.

    A turbo kit at 10PSI will generate much more power due to the elimination of turning the blower.

    As far as suspension what is your primary use for the car? Drag strip or more of a daily driver/ handling setup?

    I guess it comes down to how much money you want to spend.

    Money isn't the issue, but right now it is a daily driver, so practicality is important. I want to stick with the S/C i have...

    I say some cams and ported heads, but I agree if your not going to boost the s/c more turbo is the most efficent

    Have a motor built while you're driving the car. Or just buy a beater.

    Have the heads ported and get some cams. Also I'd look into beefing up the tranny or it'll explode on ya.

    Personally I'd start with beefing the rear, picking the right gear set for your application, beefing the tranny and then hitting the motor. It's better to start beefing stuff up before it breaks otherwise downtime sucks.

    Oh and turbos are for wussies. Real men have twin screws.

    No way on the Terms!!!! SN95s belong on cinder blocks in front of trailers. I know the list of stuff i could do, telling me to "build a motor" or "beef up my rearend" doesn't really help. I need specifics. Brands, models, etc!!! Thanks
