I am a former owner of a '98 Trans Am, and the LS1 engine has lots of low end torque and plenty of get-up and go. Maybe I'm used to the lower RPM torque that most of the american engines provide, but is there anything that I can do to get more torque down low?

I'm about to install a TB spacer and have saved for a new plenum spacer and MREV2 plen. just need to purchase. All these mods show better hp and tq but mostly in the top end. I am just curious if anyone knows of anything to provide low end tq? Thanks

 

forced induction

 

Headers, test pipes and true dual exhaust. And top it all with a Turboxs or Osiris. That's what i did and now i need to change the clutch.

 

Trying to get the TQ in the G35 VQ to that of a LS1 requires allot of MODS,Money & Work. You may want to start with these boltons such as an Exhaust, HFC, Headers, Intake, MREV & Spacer. Then you can upgrade your rear DIF gears. That should get you off to a good start.

I recommend.
1. Fast Intension Exhaust & HFC
2. Stillen cold air box with Z tube.
3. Mrev2 [if rev up] 5/16 spacer
4. Do not much about gears, May want to look at stillens first & look at reviews prior to purchase.

 

+1 That's exactly what I'm doing, minus the gears. Also, work on improving the handling of the car; even the sport suspension is so damn wishy washy.

 

Yea my next MODS are going to be MREV2, 5/16 spacer & FI HFC. I only recomended gears cause he is looking to max ouot TQ. It may help him out.

 

Yup yup....I just do too much freeway driving to justify changing out gears

 

Stillen S/C, makes power throughout its powerband

 

i agree 100%

but if you have the cash

TT or SC
