Almost paid off, what to do first?

There are TONS of threads on this stuff already. Use the search function.

Plenty of stickies to go through and plenty of build threads to go too that would answer your questions.

Unless you are a great driver, your not going to see 11's on stock turbo unless you use nitrous.

11's and reliable dont mix. You start getting into high HP numbers just to get into the 11's and youll start getting less and less of a street car. Gotta pay to play so make sure you have the cash aside to support it.

A whole new level of handling, steering, braking, acceleration control - try it.

what about the fronts? mine are shot

what makes it not a streetable car exactly? dont forget everyones definition and tolerances are different. Example....my 02 GT with a blower has no AC, no front and rear sway bars, tubular K member A arms, no front and rear crash bars, no rear seats, stereo, corbeau FIXED front seats, no EGR, no windshield wipers, no sound deadening along with a couple other little things and the cars streetable for ME, used to daily it to work like that.

The OEM bushings actually mush out and are slop after a year or two (much less actually.
So yes replace the OEM junk. Instant handling upgrades for $50; and do understand the poly will last the life of the car. One socket, one wrench - it's that easy.

I never said it wouldnt make it a streetable car. I said it will get less and less reliable to use as a street daily driven car, which is all true.

I'm on e85 on my stage 3 haven't taken it to the track yet but I can already tell the car if more power is put in I'm going to get some problems but like they say pays to play or
Pick two cheep, fast. Reliability.

That's my favorite

C5 or C6 z06?

if C6 ya fucked.

[Sonic_Srt-4]

Full 3in exhaust, 255 wallpro fuel pump, 1000cc injectors, 3bar censor, Intune or DSP, and maybe a fuel return line and most important E85....then you will see about 300hp

hard pipes, clutch, motor mounts ....there is a ton of thing you can do, you're just going to have to do you're own research and pick what's best for you!

[allturbocrx]

I am probably gonna get the dsp first so I'll be able to maximize the power I have as I add bolt ons. But getting the tuner can I just stay with the stage 0 PCM? Or do I need to atleast get stage 1?

[tunerlover3]

There is no such thing as a stage 0 pcm.

Its either stock, stage1, stage2, or stage3.

No you dont need to upgrade the PCM.

[allturbocrx]

Well it's the stock PCM then. And I'm guessing the dsp will stop the o2 sensor code from not having the converter and some of the other petty trouble codes. Thanks for all the suggestions and information, gives me stuff to search on. And my friends vette is an 07 z06 which he has put heads on and a few other things. It's pretty fast, so that is a tall goal with my funds. Realistically I'm just looking to get to that 300/300 point but it's not my daily driver so I want to keep on pushing it.

[underSRTarmor]

Yes the dsp can take away the rear o2 code.

WHAT? lmao

[tunerlover3]

Yeah the chances of the OP getting into the 11's are really slim to none unless he is a great driver.
