hp and torque gains/ performance upgrades here

Looking to take my g to the next level and Im curious to see all the performance upgrades you guys have done to your engine. Only thing I have done to it now is an intake and any recommendations from your own experiences would be highly appreciated

You can make the VQ motor crazy fast, it depends on how deep your pockets are. If you're a kid going to High School most of the restriction is in the OE cats so you buy test pipes and live with the stinky exhaust. A dream engine would be to bore/stroke to 4.2 then twin turbos. Cheaper would be a LS swap but you end up with a bastard with a terrible resale value....even done right!

You're not that curious- there are hundreds, if not thousands of threads on this subject. If you were curious, maybe you'd have read 1 or 2 of them.

You've done an Intake- taking it to the next level is a Z tube.

Let us know when you're ready for round 3.

Because compared to the trials and tribulations of FI with a VQ its relativity problem free, makes good power, gets good gas mileage... what more could you want?? There are guys on the forum who've blown up 2 and even 3 built VQ's going FI and still can't get a decent reliable setup making over 500 at the wheels
