Cheapest way to pick up additional 50hp?
I have a 15 Z51 making 541whp on a Mustang Dyno. Mods are an Edelbrock E force stage 2, GM cold air box, PTB, Borla X pipe and a tune from Vette Doctors. I'm not looking to get headers. I was considering a smaller pulley. Just wanted to hear any ideas you guys might have.

You are about to the limit, unless you do go small pulley & LT headers & a 95mm zr1 T.B. & retune on her... Robert

Maybe your next mods should be fuel related?

I would recommend the LT4 high side pump and the LT4 injectors. Not sure how much boost you are running now but you'll most likely need to bring the boost down before adding a smaller pulley (headers are a great option for this). We have some solid pricing on LT4 fuel system upgrades. This can all add up, which is why you see a lot of guys running meth.

LT4 HPFP is $850ish and injectors are around $550, plus the disposable fuel pipe for the pump is $38. The low side fuel system which you WILL need is about $2,000, Flex fuel sensor is $300, plus a tune ($750?). I gained 100 over pump 93 on the corn. Now add in $15K to 20K for a complete engine build cause you will destroy the ringlands if you do any of this on a stock LT1....
