power hungry again.......

Im wanting to add more power and ive got a lil jingle in my pocket. Already got intake exhaust and programmer with custom tunes. Thinking about the bbk throttle body? Not doing efans. Sorry but I dont really trust them. What else can I do to add power? Underdrive pulleys? What else??????

I think you've already covered the important things, intake exhaust and custom tunes. I believe the only way to really get anymore would be a turbo charger. Do a search, lots of threads on it.

Are you in search of raw power, or the ability to harness the power you're already making?

Don't waste money on the throttle body. No big gains there. If you're not willing to go turbo/super charged, then look into headers or gears. What gears are you running right now? If you have a 3.55 then you may want to look at a 4.10. While you're not "making" more power, you are applying that power better. You're off the line feel will be improved, but your cruising MPG's will suffer some.
