Hi well i finally got to $1000 to spend on my dsm. well i both my car not running, so
so i slowly fix it. I got the car with some mods, and the guy i both it from told me that he had it dyno at 300hp, it feels like it know so it could be true. The reason for the help is that i want more power on it so where would you guys go on parts to gain on i stock block and head 400 to 500 hp. I don't want to build the motor cause i did a rebuilt on it, so i will better rebuilt my transmission for that hp, and the motor gives up move to it. Some help guys i am new at these please, thank you for reading.
 
Get a wideband O2 and a good tuning device (DSM Link) if you do not have them.

That will cost you the better part of $1000

To better point you to what you need, list mods
 
Well, it might help if we knew what was done to your car already to make the 300hp that you assume it's making.

Do you have all of your gauges? Boost/fuel pressure/oil pressure/wideband? If not get them.

Do you have a data logger? If not, get one.

I have the blue greddy e-management, but the car i got it with no cable. Should i just buy the cable or dsm link, and for gauge the boost one only.

I up dated my profile should i list my mods, and good idea i should get the gauges to see whats is going on on the car:ohdamn:
 
I am no help on tuning... If you can run the greddy and tune with it fine... but most run DSM Link, do your research and have theat help you decide.
 
I got 650 injectors, 16g, fp mani, hks down pipe, no cat, hks full exhaust, cams don't brand, 1g tb, after market full fmic 3in core, kn filter, mbc hallman, ngk.

Blue greddy e-management no tune cable, but i will take it to a dyno when the new mods will be install. What would be next for me, for know i would get a af gauge. to monitor.
 
honestly that setup is maxed out. Its gonna cost a lot more than 1K to step it up again. So I would let that 1k sit in an interest earning account/thing until it turns into something way bigger.

Those little piggyback tuning boxes like the one you have, max out with 650cc injectors. so your system is just another tune short of maxing out.

I would up your budget to 2 or 3 thousand. You can get ECMlink, WideBand, Injectors, Bigger Turbo (hta68, 20g, fp green, hx35...), and a clutch. That should be a challence to fit in for under 3k but possible if you are lucky and find good deals.

Any mods you are missing that could add a little pep, would be an exhaust cutout, Bigger cams 264 or 272s, wide band. thats all that will fit under 1000. and thats all i can think of.

Wow good info thanks so my setup will change its max. What brand of injectors and size should i get, and i will trough that greddy away and go ECMlink. I will try to get more money, also i was told i had cams so i will find what are they, and if that was a lie well buy one like you said.Sorry for being new at these what is cutout exhaust and do:|

You could just send it to me.

LOL:nono:

Some one offer me AEM is it hard to use or its better to go with ECMlink.
