370AWHP 341AWTQ now what?

Well next week I will be getting one of these I just need some help on deciding what my next step should be. My following mods are: BR turbo back with test pipe: BR intake: BR LICP: Megan racing O2 housing: forge mbc: ACT clutch and flywheel. I made 370awhp and 341awtq on the dyno and eventually I want to go with a 3065 turbo upgrade but I want the best next mod for my setup.
Cosworth cams ( S1's or what?)
Meth ( I don't know the best brand so help needed)
Or BR or AMS front mount

Don't get cams until you get the turbo. In fact I would do the turbo first.

The key to going fast is octane. Add meth/alchy or race fuel and crank the boost.

in my opinion:
youll get the most power out methanol injection(lots to be exact )
say hello to 400+ hp
on a stock turbo it decreases the need for a bigger intercooler
plus when you get a bigger turbo kit, itll help you squeeze lots of extra ponies out of it

go with aquamist, you can order it from kevind(Evolution Dynamics LLC) he makes great preassembled kits.

Those are good numbers for your mods. What fuel were you running? I agree with the meth and cams. Yes, the cams will be better on the bigger turbo, but staging up and being prepared for the turbo is fine as well since in the interim the cams will give you some added benefit.

My numbers were done with 93 octane pump gas...I already have a AEM UEGO wideband but when you tune for meth doesn't it throw your a/f's off on your wideband...if so how the hell do you tune lol?

cams for sure, this is a must for next step, although IX has good cams, but upgraded ones are still better.

btw, I have a question for you, your hp/tq number is very impressive, do you think upgraded clutch has anything to do with it? b/c I heard that upgraded clutch will have less drivetrain loss.

I smell a dyno jet Nice number regardless man Like some of the other guys, I'd suggest meth. I'm a bit conservative though, so I'd probably do a 50/50 meth/water. Good Luck.

Go with the Meth first, then cams, and then a bigger turbo/intercooler...

I bet you'll find that after meth and cams you'll be more than happy and in the 400whp range...

I have been checking up on the snow performance kits but I'm confused on what I need...there is a stage 1 but then the other stages say map-v and maf and a 2D kit...so what do I go with?


Quick Reply: Cams, meth, or front mount?
