Default Tuning/supercharging

Hello. Nice forum
I just sold my 605hp(engine#) 91 Dodge Stealth and bought a 99 Light Pewter C5 coupe with 29500km on the meter. It is in stock condition.
I am planning to increase the power,but i am not sure how yet.
I have been reading about the Procharger kit that will boost it to 540hp,but i am open for suggestions. I think i will go for more than 540 but not past 750 wich is max claimed hp on the PC unit.
So please five me some input here

In my opinion, the first step is to start reading threads and doing searches to learn the basics of different setups. Then you can ask more specific questions. To just ask "how can I increase hp" makes a difficult question to answer. Theres so many ways to do it. If your looking for a max of 750hp, and since your in the forced induction section, I say procharger or twin turbos. It all depends how much your willing to spend. You can always do a big motor and nitrous, but again, theres tons of combinations.

Are you looking for a DIYer kit? Is your price point < > $10K ?

I have been building several turbocharged cars from scratch and work as a workshop-manager. I am not going for a stroker-kit or nitrous. I am planning on doing it over several months/years so the price is not set. I guess what i am asking for is how would you do it if you where in my shoes?
I know that if someone asked me on how to tune a Stealth i would have some advise,and not neccesarily the same things i did to my car..
All i know is that i will go for forced induction

I'd say the main factor is money. Decide how much hp you want, and how much you can spend.

Roger, the best advice I can give you would be to get the kit from A&A Corvettes. That kit is what I am running right now and it will be the least trouble for you at the best cost. If you have any other questions about this, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,that looks like a nice kit for a reasonable price!

I`ll wait a few days to see if there is an even better option out there

Thanks again

You didn`t mention that you had a used kit for sale.
If i buy a used kit,i save 24% taxes here in Norway! Would you send it to Norway?? What about payment? Maybe i should catch a plane and come and get it?
