I know this has got to be posted all over the place but I drive a 06 gt. Currently im running pypes axle back, sct tuner and jlt cai. My goal is to be at 350 rwhp. Now I might have 350 to the crank but thats not what im going for. Can anyone give me bolt on advice to get me here? I can't afford s/c or turbo

 

I have 337rwhp. Nothing but bolt ons. Mods are
Steeda charge motion delete plates
Bbk throttle body
Airaid cold air intake
Steeda underdrive pulleys
Pypes full length headers w/ catless x pipe
Pypes violator mufflers
Sct tune
Ford racing hot rod cams
3.73 rear gear
1 piece aluminum drive shaft

 

Man thats quite a list...i have some serious work and money making lol how do you get your car inspected with catless?

 

I havent had to have the emissions done yet but the way it works in illinois they just plug into the computer and runs a diagnostic to see if there are any codes stored. When i had the car tuned i had the rear 02 sensors turned off so the code wouldnt show up. Should pass just the way it sits

 

Now if I have my hand held tuner can I go turn them off so If I wanted to go catless I can pass?

 

I do believe you should be able to turn them off on your own. I had mine turned off when i had it tuned. I know that you said that you wanted to make 350rwhp but depending on what your budget is it could take quite awhile to get there. Parts for our cars are still expensive.

 

Thats what im thinking...i should probably start saving for a blower

 

I not absolutely sure , but I don't believe you can use the tuner to turn them off your self. Who ever did your tune will need to turn them off and load that into our tuner and then you reload the tune ...

 

I have lifetime tunes from bama threw AM but if I get an xpipe I can call them and they can email me one in

 

Sounds like a good plan there.

 

I know right? AM takes care of ya! What im worried about is that an off road x is with my axle backs, itll sound insane loud

 

In NJ they just plug into the OBDII as weel, and if you tune off your rear O2's it will not pass. I kept my stock Mid-pipe for just that reason.

 

I know my friend tood his for emissions without his cats on and he passed with the rear 02 sensors turned off. I do have my stock mid pipe also just in case i do fail my emissions test

 

Here in tx they do it through the comp or whatever. My good friend drives a 01 cobra I believe and he has no cats. He turned his off and they passed his

 

Do any of yall think a throttle body spacer is worth it? How about udp?

 

TBS=NO
UDP=YES
But if you save your money for a blower don't bother with either.

 

That won't be happening tilll I'm much older. Sorry to ask, but what is it that upd's actually do?

 

I have under drive pulleys. As far as i kno they dont really free up that much power. Same goes for the throttle body spacer. Doesnt really free up any horsepower that i know of.

 

Any suggestions for me then without breaking the bank?

 

350 whp is my goal as well, you will need almost every basic bolt on to get there:

• You already have the intake and tuner.
• Under Drive Pullies (they DO make 5-8 hp) ($200)
• Charge Motion Delete Plates (another 5-8) ($250)
• Long Tube Headers ($500-$1200)
• X or H pipe to go with the headers, you can get this with or without cats, for max hp without cats is best, and depending on who you ask, a X pipe might get you 1 or 2 extra HP over an H. ($200-450)
• The best Cams you can afford (many options here, some require much more investment in terms of installation {Springs Required vs. No Springs Required}, but will get you a couple more precious HP) ($600-$900 + $$$ for installation)
• A very good tune with the highest octane gas you can get (hopefully 93) ($300-600)

That should put you very close to 350, but you might still be 10 hp or so short, depending on your tune and how aggressive your cams are. (and depending on the dyno)

You could always get a throttle body or electric water pump to get the couple of extra HP. If you really wanted to be sure, ported heads ($$$$) will get you there along with all of the above.

Oh yeah, don't forget safely putting that power down and slowing down with all that extra go. Suspension, Brakes, and Tires will all be important to...
