What is the next step? in the performance ladder.

I won't list my mods, you can see them in the signature. What should be my next step? I really cannot see a supercharger in my future in even a years time.

My question is this my only step? To jump from nothing to S/C?

My ideas are:

Cam

Cam/Heads

Custom tune

NOS

and how much gain can I have? I estimate I should be around 365hp or 310 rwhp. Is the 4.6 capable of making 400 fwhp with bolt ons and naturally aspirated?

OR should I say what the He!! and throw some wet nitrous shot at WOT? for about 75 hp?

I am not really chasing the HP monkey, but I have tried to spend the money I have wisely. The 4.10's I installed, should give me a 1/2 sec faster ET over a set of 3.55's in the quarter. Most magazines have shown (MMFF last month) showed that my car is capable of mid to hi 12 second times (driver allowing).

That is a huge step over the muscle cars of back in the day. But can a N/A car compete with the 03/04 cobra's and the GT500. Articles I have read says the pistons and connecting rods are only good for 450 hp max.

You opinions?

Well, gears really woke up my car....... In my opinion, as far as "bang for the buck", your choices would be either gears or nitrous.

I am already running 4.10's....I agree it was a good bang for the buck.

I don't see the charge motion plate deletes(is that how you say it? lol) in your sig anywhere. They are cheap and give you like 10+rwhp.

I thought about that, but if I am going to crack the integrity of the motor, I will pop for a new cam as well. and of course dougs tune.

You only have to pull off the plastic intake for the deletes, not the heads.
