I gave it up after having my son when I was 25. I want to them learn something with a little less than 500whp and then if I want to get rowdy I can crankl the nitrous on. Anyway, I thought I'd seek out some advice on what else I can do right now on the motor to add a few more whp. The car is built for a shot and I will be adding a 200 shot in the near future but would like to do some NA runs with all motor, do some data logging, and then add the shot. But before I do all that, is there something you guys think I could add to bring the motor hp up some? Currently, 431whp and 399 wtq. It's an Auto car. Here's the build:
*Wilkes Heads: 799's CNC Ported with titanium valves
*ARP Head Bolts
*Yank SS4000 Stall Converter
*Tick Performance SNS Stage 2 Cam: 227/235, .618/.605 on a 110+3 LSA

*Blackwidow Widowmaker Catback
*Racetronix 255lph Fuel Pump
*Racetronix Hotwire Kit
*GTP 42lb Injectors
*Motive 373 Gears
*Built 4l60e Transmission
*BMR 1.5 Lowering Springs
*Speed Engineering Adj Torque Arm w/Safe Loop
*Midwest Chassis Non-Adj Lower Control Arms
*Midwest Chassis Lower Cont Arm Brackets
*Comp Engineering Rear Shocks 3 way Adj set to 50/50
