Who has spent the most on performance mods?
Lately I have been doing performance mods to my car, and I wonder if others have this addition as well and how much individuals have spent (tires and brakes not included). I will start:
SRT intake and chip: $500
SRT restalled Torque Converter: $1600
Magnafliw Exhaust: $800
Exhaust Labor $200
Gs300 sway bar $75
Spint Booster: $300
Isf Sway bar kit $160
Front bushings $25
Front and Rear End Links $50
Install of sway bars and end links: $400
PPE headers $900
Header install $1200
SRT intake and chip: $500
SRT restalled Torque Converter: $1600
Magnafliw Exhaust: $800
Exhaust Labor $200
Gs300 sway bar $75

Well I didn't really want to add it all up but you saw about $4k for headers and exhaust, about $3500 for wheels and tires; over $3k for BBK and install, plus a lot of stuff in my signature. Not too much on body kit or sound system. For this year the Supra TT differential ($1000) DIY and a new set of wheels with summer tires for the track.

For the Silver Bullet mods have given me ~45 wHp more than when I started; I did a baseline dyno before I started with perfomance mods. A new set of spark plugs helped too but I need to do a new dyno to see how much improved. TBD if any engine mods but future might do port/polish and forged rods etc using parts from Lextreme if available. Working on Supra TT LSD 3.77 differential swap now but got distracted with other mods and putting insulation on the garage door.

What Company so you plan to use to tune your piggyback? How much are they chagrin for the tune? Is the tune changing/ optimizing air fuel mixture??

I have done a baseline dyno before mods then a nee dyno each step of the the way. For other numbers I go to the drag strip. I have a science background and like to look at real data. I need to post my dyno results as soon as I get a chance to do a good plot. Mack V gives me the data and I use the software from Dyno Jet. I will do another dyno after I finish the diff swap so I can look at the changes in shift point before I go out and see it on the track.
I haven't really looked into tuning options other than reading and don't plan to do that this year so I can't comment much more about it. I will add the air/fuel reading though for the next dyno to see where I'm at as far as lean or rich with the mods.
