An instant 20-30 hp would be the Intercooler buckshot77 is developing for his SC 3L and will probably talk me into when I recover a bit from this last mod He is willing to sell the design once it works well on his car. A True Dual exhaust with gutted pre cats (mystery mod) will help a lot as well, probably 5-10 hp right there. A free mod would be Throttle Body optimization following the How to on the site or send it to Buckshot77 again and he will do it for a small fee.

Eitherway though man you have A LOT of HP there! I am hoping for just over 300 FWHP on my SC 3L! Of course I'll clobber you in TQ, but I bet our HP won't be far off! That's amazing from a 2.5!

Some engines are just better from the factory. Every now and then the parts on the assembly line sort of 'line right up' and you get good stuff. Maybe all your intake ports were lined up good. Perhaps the extrude hone job was better, maybe you just got a good y-pipe and exhaust manifolds (meaning less welds sticking up in the flow area).

Keep in mind that the 'effects' that helped you be 7-10HP better in N/A mode are now being magnified by the vortech. Double the base power over your counterparts.

If you're looking for simple bolt ons (or even FREE mods) I'd say:
Optimize your ypipe,
Optimize your TB,
Brullen exhaust.

That'd be minimal work on your part (in terms of fabrication), and I'd bet you could pull at least 10-15 fwhp.

I think I'll do the TB optimization this weekend and see how it feels. I'm going to rotate the tires to, mabey i can get better traction then. All this talk makes me want to order up some mods . I want tax season to come!

I also put down 175.3hp with only a kkm and deleted resonator - 155.5tq, peak numbers of course.
