Default what else can i do?

i think im out of small supporting boltons can anyone else think of a small go fast goodie i can do aside from a cam, heads or nitrous?

ALL performance mods...

nelson tune
vette servo
70% tm lost
electric fans
160* thermo
upd intake/k&n filter
volant ram air
shaners s2 throttle body
tb bypass
egr delete
longtubes
open exhaust
toyo proxies
tb stall
373 g80
spring clamps
and thats it i think

my asp underdrive pulley and belts should be here in the next week and ill be making my own caltracs here soon.

my goal is 13.5 on the factory cam. right now im at 13.8. since that run ive added the rollpan so i lost a little weight with that. not sure what its worth though anyone have another cheap go fast goodie that ive missed?

The only thing I can think of is a set of roller rockers. Thinking about some of those myself. 13.8 is pretty sweet on the stock cam... nice!

Shift Kit, maybe with a little more TM removed?

I'm interested in seeing what you actually pick up with the ASP Pulley, but that would have been my vote. That and you might take just a hair more of the TM out, I think you could go another 5% maybe, might not help much, but could be what you need to put you over the top.

Then its cam/heads/nitrous/etc......

Just out of curiousity, PM me if you need to, but where'd ya get the pulley and are you doing the install? I'm thinking of doing this mod very soon on my truck too.

Oh, and if you ever plan on going with a cam later, I'd stay away from the 1.8 rockers, just seen to many folks have problems with them with aftermarket cams.

bang for the buck, rockers arent worth it, you dont gain much with the bigger rockers.

I wasn't talking about different ratio rockers, just the rollers. I've only heard bad things about changing ratios. He's really running out of stuff that will make hp so this wasn't a question of bang for the buck. If you ask me, a pulley doesn't get you much for the money either especially if you already have efans.

They do, but not the tips. So it's not a "full" roller rocker.

Wont gain much unless you go with a 1.8 or 1.85. Spend money elsewhere IMO.
