I was hoping someone could help me out in what would be the next best step for performance gain. To date, I have an AEM intake, Magnaflow X Piping exhaust, and Nismo SS R Tuned Headers.

I'm debating on new pulleys, or possibly a fuel controller, keeping in mind that some day I plan on throwing a supercharger on it. Any comments are much appreciated.

 

Get an intake plenum spacer. Or a Corvette. Corvettes are fast.

 

5AT or 6MT?

 

Not as fast as my car.
(except for the new Z06!)

A guy in a new C6 found out the hard way the other day and came back two more times to learn it again and again.


But back on topic
+1 on the spacer. It will work with all FI kits except for the Stillen SC. It's the best bang for the buck N/A mod around and helps a lot on boosted cars too. I still have one on my car.

 

Geez, a corvette, why didn't I think of that. I appreciate the sarcastic BS.

 

5AT, I know I should have gone with the 6MT, but unfortunately it was the last of the few 06's they had left, and I don't think I could have afforded the 07 at the time.

 

Thanks for the input. Is the Intake Plenum something that will help me with the FI SC only?

 

The plenum spacer will help with NA, SC, or TT. Its one of the best bang for the buck mods out there. Motordyne Link

 

+1

It helps regardless of what other mods you have.

 

What's the difference between the basic plenum spacer, and the thermal plenum spacer? Both are quoted at the same performance gain.

 

i agree with the spacer.

 

I humbly accept your sarcastic appreciation of my <witty|sarcastic> remark. Oh and AHEM(jerk)COUGH you're welcome for recommending the spacer by the way. Which one are you gonna get?

Edit: and Tim, wow, just wow... So Mr. Giacalone is going to need at least a C5 with twins now, maybe C6 w/ single turbo? I don't think he's ready to spend that much. You just ruined his weekend.

 

thermal plenum spacer is for cold weather/winters

if you live in an area that does not get to cold get the basic

 

plenum spacer.. hmm.. grounding kit to make shifts smoother and sharper...

 

Ya I appreciate the idea of the spacer. I'm still new at this forum stuff. I just thought you were trying to state a Corvette is better then a G35 or something weird like that. I think I'm going to go with the thermal one, since it does get ICY sometimes in the morning during the winter. Thanks.
