The big limiting factor is the $$ (Isnt it always?)
The SC (stock pulley), the sway bar, and tower brace is all I got
Don't fret, I got more plans.
Yes I plan on getting the JPP headers eventually
I'm going to look into the plugs subject (Right now its stock)
Amongst other things...
I also think the dyno was registering a little low (the viper came in a little low.) They were having some problems with their equipment. One of my runs put me at 202whp, but they needed to switch probes or something cause the data was acting wierd (when I find my dyno sheets I can show you what I mean), but the next 4 runs had me at the 192whp. They used a big ass clamp to hold the air-fuel probe in muffler which blocked off like 2/3 of the exhaust, which may have had an effect (I'm not trying to make up excuses, really!)
Be pushy! Give me more ideas!
i understand about the dyno...sometimes things like that happen if the machine itself is not properly calibrated...its a shame too since you had stock baseline numbers to start from.
i haven't been able to dyno my car yet, i have a 4 banger auto so realisitically i hoping for numbers somewhere around 110whp, but i hope to go the forced induction with a turbo someday soon...$$$ money is also a factor with me too unfortunately
as far as other things you might want to consider...if you decide to go with a higher boost pulley 5.5 - 7 psi you will probly want to get a Apex-i SAFC to help tune the engine so you will make sure its not too rich and not too lean as far as air/fuel ratios go.
along with the colder spark plugs some thicker silicone coated ignition wires will help to lessen resistance to give you a better spark...does this translate to more hp? not really, but the less resistance you have electrically speaking the better the engine will idle, the better your gas mileage will be etc. so there are benefits again all my opinions...others can & will argue otherwise, these are only my personal findings.
you may also want to think about a type of homemade Cold Air Intake...as we all know colder air does = more hp
that's about all i can think of for now, my brain is fried after tearing my interior apart today to do some custom work
