No, he's definitely wrong. If you do all that you'll be around 300-320 whp which is over the crank horsepower that our cars come with stock...so a 15-20% improvement in power really. With just the tune you'll be more around 280-290 mark optimistically (at that point he is slightly right, 5-10% improvement from the additional mods).
Think my friends end goal as he said is 480ish hp, basically GT lvl's, so eventually Forced Induction down the line, though those mods are a good start.
Your friend is delusional. A car with basically all the same mods made 300RWHP.
You missed the part where he said:
TWO catalytic converters.
Right, right, just double checking, never did mod anything beyond a turbo 4 before
Thanks btw for noting the forced induction is the end goal btw
Get an intake, tune, and full exhaust. That will really wake up the car. I can get you taken care of on anything you need here from www.lethalperfomance.comFirst time posting here, thought I should share my set up. The first thing that was done to it was swap the exhaust with a GT and add an H-pipe. It's the best daily I've had, definitely beats my corolla. I plan on doing headers and TB soon, what would you guys recommend? Please share any ideas or just post your set up.
Do you think there will continue to be exhaust, engine, upgrades for our V6 engines and S550’s? Ive looked at other performance shops and it seems like they’re carrying less and less for our cars. I’ve been upgrading my car over the last 5 years little by little and after I get tires in the spring, I want to do some power upgrades like exhaust, Intake, headers. I’m not sure about a tune though as I have a warranty to 120k miles and like 5 years. I do want an increase that’s street legal. I just can’t afford to throw several thousand dollars at once to get there. So it will take a couple of years. Thoughts?
