Quick question,

I have a '08 LT Auto. What would you guys recommend for my first/first few performance mods?

Also, how much HP would I be looking at fully bolted with this car and a tune?

BTW, sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and couldn't find anything.

 

fully bolted and tuned looking at around 180hp. decent for a DD

 

fully bolted= 2.4 TB/IM, CAI/SRI, Header, DP, Catback

tune: HP/Trifecta

 

Cold Air Intake of your choice, 2.4 Intake Manifold, Obx Headers, ZZP Downpipe 2.5in, Catback muffler of your choice, and uh LSJ Throttle body, Top it off with a Trifecta Tune, Ive seen 190 HP. Then you can go either way, turbo or super...Im choosing super.

 

obx header? lol hell no. why would he buy all this stuff for his 2.2 if he is eventually going SC/TC? Dont listen to this guy lmao ^

 

**** no on the obx i coudlnt even get mine to fit without modding it lol i sold it the next day. i have badmab right now and im a 2.2

 

^ bad-mab yep. or just go longtube and get the header/dp all in one. ZZP has em for decent price

 

Ok thanks. Should I go CAI or SRI?

 

you could get a injen then u can either go CAI or SRI whenever u want to change it. I have a K&N SRI and love it

 

Because not everyone has 2 grand to drop on a supercharger set all of a sudden : )
So enjoy it til you can afford its only hundred maybe two hundred more than just waiting for the supercharger. and i havent gotten the obx yet, but thanks for the heads up.

 

right, but spending to go fully bolted and tuned, then turn around and sc/tc isnt smart.
if u know u want to go forced induction before u start bolting on a NA then save for the sc/tc. If you want a decent DD, just go fully bolted and tuned and be satisfied

 

btw while choosing exhaust and being NA make sure you dont go over 2.5" piping. even your catback could be 2.25".

Im going to be running a bad-mab with a 2.5" catted ZZP DP, and a 2.25" tsudo catback.
Might end up changing that to a 2.5" Borla catback but once spring comes the above is what ill be running.
