ok well i kinda wanna see how much hp i can get without doing a stage upgrade on my ss/sc
im looking to port out the s/c with an ls4 tb, 3" intake, headers and dp..i already have an exhaust...

with all that how much hp would you estimate me being at?
and if u have any other suggestions feel free to tell me

 

y would you not want to get injectors and pulley down

 

to my understanding, the OEM injectors are pretty maxed from factory. So any upgrades you do besides intake and exhaust would probably push the idc's too far. Don't want to go static. Besides, stage packages go pretty cheap around here. If you search around, you can find a gm stage 2 for around 150 or so.

 

used or new?

 

idk, its just everyone does the stage kit and i wanted to see what i can get right now without having a stage kit just yet

 

the reason why everyone does a stage kit is because they're the cheapest way to make more power efficiently. Like I said earlier, any additional mods on the stock injectors is no bueno. Those things will go static very easily. If price is your concern, try OTTP or ZZP's stage kits. They're very worth it.

Boosted: it depends on what you find, but I've seen a brand new kit not that long ago in the FS area for close to 150 shipped.

 

na price isnt an issue at all..just wanted to see if i could do something other than a stage kit..if it wont work without one then thats no problem..just seeing some other options

 

try getting the most out of it you can on the stock pulley. pm me if you want some help. i was going to do this if i bought another stock ss but i went turbo.

 

well, it sounds like you have an interesting idea. I just don't have much faith in those injectors. Slap some 80's on there & throw some e85 in it and I think you'll be happy...

 

well looking at my idea what would b good injectors to run?

 

42's seem like a dime a dozen on here pick one up from someone for 75w/harness

 

ok cool..thanks for the help fellas

 

if you're not lookin for huge gains, 42's would be perfect. But if you ever consider getting a smaller pulley, then go ahead and get some 60's. Also, zzp will give you 10 bucks for every OEM lsj injector you send them.
