I want to go FAST!!

okay here's the deal...I got the SF kit with equal length, T3 Super 60, and alcohol injection...I just ordered my new ACT clutch but I've been searching the boards and I want to know some bolt-ons I can do to go faster before I start to do the sleeves, pistons and rods...oh btw, where can I get these pistons, sleeves and rods from? I've searched and searched...HELP...oh btw I have 56K so be easy

thanx

Upgrade your exhaust. Get rid of your cat. How much boost you running?

jwcardy is on a distinguished road
take off those heavy rims, and that body kit(stock looks better)....get you some lighter rims with GOOD tires....if i remeber right cliff, didnt you already get 3in exhaust, if not do it...it will decrease the amount of "spool up" time...after that, i wouldnt waste my time on anything other than building the engine....pnp head, sleeving the block, rods and piston, just a full engine build...c2i0v0i1c has had a set of pistons and rods made for his car...search for them...or just send the block off to someone and have them do it...no matter what, it will be considered a custom job cause right now no one is mass producing pistons and rods for us...

Greddy Emanage with all of the harnesses. Get it dyno tuned and you should pull an extra 30 or so HP.

Best cam is the stock one.. I'd do pulleys.. and cam gear.. I would also look into getting a bigger intake for the turbo, and then internals..

*btw* I don't know how well a bigger intake for the turbo would work.. It's just an idea i'm throwing out there..

You can get a cam gear. It will allow the advance or retard on the engine. An adjustable cam gear is good for tuning.
