    Default Wanting to do up a low km buick v6!

    just wonderin what are some of the basic and high priced mods out there to get some kick out of a v6.
    cause i want to keep my car as my daily but still be good. while i buy my silvia s13 as ma track car.
    ive searched for a few things including-

    Extractors
    2.5in exhaust W/ twin tip
    70mm Throttle Body (Bored & Polished)
    Stage 2 Shift Kit
    LSD Diff W/ 3.9 Gears

    Can i buy a CAI enclosure and also attach a CAI system to it.. or is it 1 or the other and if so whats mroe of an increase?

    nah dont bother with injectors. stock ones are rated at 36bhp each x by 6 = 216bhp.
    you can add high ratio rockers to your list. that will be the bigger single increase mod out of all the others you have there.
    Oh you will need a tune to calibrate the ecu to all your mods to make it actually work decent.

    SC14 charger? can usally get kitted up for a grand. If you run small boost, you can still get a considerable increrase without having to intercool and upgrade your injectors.

    Pacemaker Extractors
    1.9:1 High Ratio Rocker Arms
    Cold Air Intake System

    You will have to do a bit of searching aorund the forum to find accurate information as im not sure. I know that you can run low boost. and still get a considerable gain, then later on change to a smaller pulley which will up the boost. when doing this you should have bigger injectors (exact size im not sure) and intercooler, depending on how much extra your going you should have some internal mods done, as theres alot more pressure being put on the internals.

    I only know a little, looked into a while back. If you do a bit of searching you will find what you need, or better yet talk to somebody who has done it.
