hollow1 Member 10 Member For: 15y 2m 29d Gender: Male Posted 29/03/10 03:21 AM Author Share Posted 29/03/10 03:21 AM I was looking at the SS induction growler a while ago but I've read a few times it's overpriced. The blue power CAIs do look pretty nice. I had a quick look on ebay, but couldn't find any so I might have to contact XFT and see how much they sell them for.

Don't waste money on power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossmang FREAKY Donating Members 12,433 Member For: 15y 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/03/10 08:09 AM Share Posted 31/03/10 08:09 AM lol at a flash tune on a NA and extractors are a waste of money. you dont go buy an na and then spend thousands of bucks on making more power. that's pointless, the money you spend on making more power is better off buying a turbo car to start with. all you need to do and this is what I did, rims, lowered, tint, stereo and a cat bak only for some noise. then detailed it and it looks a million dollars. enjoy.

Make it look good, there is nothing wrong with a tough looking cruiser. Like everyone is saying, whatever extra power you get will be minimal for the money spent. Best bet is just to change the diff gears. Probably the mod with the biggest power mod.I used to tinker with an EA Falcon on my P's, then with an N/A EF. Almost every stock SS would beat it, wasn't worth the money spent. At the time it seemed like it was, but looking back I could have done much better things with the money.

Would doing the exhaust first or start looking at BOVs or injectors be the next option. . Tune is at 10 psi. Very impressed for bang for buck.

And what car and gearbox? What power do you want, and how much do you want to spend?Fuel pump, injectors, custom tune and flash box, and a new cat = between $2,500 and $3,500 ish - Can vary a lot. A good 12psi 98 tune will give you about 300rwkw.Where are you located? Do have a look in the general tech section for some basic mods, or start a new thread in the right area Good luck!
