Default Removable Performance Upgades

2004 Commemorative Coupe;

Looking for some ideas to increase horsepower, that can easily be converted back to stock, ie exhaust, air intake, etc... Would like to gain as much horse power as possible to increase 1/4 mile time and over all response. Also want to sound better. Have stock exhaust.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I have added the TI exhaust and the Vararam B2 going to get a tune soon...I can tell a nice feel it in the seat of your pants gain in performance and we lost a few MPG and better throttle response.. I know the tune is going to add even more....probably won't DYNO but, from what I've read should be a 25 to 40 hp gain total...maybe. (After doing all three)

depends on what you consider easy.. LT headers to stock Ti mufflers, Air intake and a tune will pick up about 30-35RWHP/TQ.

I picked up 30hp with headers and a tune. On a 2003 Z. I thought that I would get more for my money?
