Default Whats next??

I have a 1999 FRC with LG street series headers off road x pipe B&B bullets, vararam intake with powerduct ls6 intake and 28lb injectors. And i am just looking for some advice on what you all would do next? I dont want to do a H/C package because im a college student and i want to keep my car as streetable as possible (for now).

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Your car can remain very streetable even with a H/C package, you are just going to need to get a good tune to maintain idle.

Recommend sticking with your current power level. Once you pass the 400 RWHP mark, you will start to bleed money. New clutch or major automatic tranny mods, professional tune, etc...........

Better put HEMORRHAGE MONEY! Ask me how I know????

In that case, get a good clutch, and tougher output shaft(s). Maybe a trans brace.
