so i got all my bolt on's, i got the air coming in and going out real good. what would be the best route for more power? also is there an easy way to do the plugs and wires on the passenger side of motor?

 

gotta let us know what u have in the car now. have u checked out the sticky? besides sumit and jegs check these places.

im brand new to this site so im still figuring out how to work my way around it, what are the stickies?

 

since you have all the bolt ons, then we can assume that you have long tube headers so the passenger side is really not that bad.

from below, do plug #8 by putting the plug socket onto the plug and use a box wrench to turn it.

# 6 can be done from above or below but 2 + 4 from above.

here's a hint, sometimes it's easier to lay on top of the motor (across it) and you'd be surpised how it improves the angle.

With long tubes, it takes longer to jack it up, chalk the wheels, get out the tools and then put everything away than it does to replace the plugs.

 

What is your definition of 'all my bolt ons'? is it still natrually aspirated?

 

stickies are at the top of the sections. one is at the 4th gen page and reads where to start modding. the lt section has one for cams.

 

So the passenger side is the even numbers on the cylinders? I thought the driver side was even.

 

well i dont have every bolt on but i got slp headers, duel single chamber flomasters, 2.5 in pipes, k&n cold air, 58 mm TB, msd 6a ignition, msd coil, high performance plugs and wires. i was thinking about getting a chip next. has anyone had any good experiences with a certain chip? also my z just rolled 100k, it still runs really strong but im cerious if i should build up my motor to withstand higher hp, i would hate to give it all this power and then it through a rod or something else.

 

unless u have a good sized cam and ported heads the 58mm tb is not doing any good. your gona want to get the heads done and pick up a cam, lifters, and 1.6 rockers. whats been done to the intake? did u look to see what elliotts has to offer. lloyd is very good. stock bottom end is pretty strong so u should be safe to 400hp.

 

have you done anything with your gears? are you stick or auto? if auto you're going to want to get a different torque converter. then i'd look into the heads and cam
