Next mod? Suggestions?

I am looking for some suggestions on what to do next. Currently I have:

PSS9
B&M Shifter
V-flow
GIAC program set for 109 Octane. (I get 109 delivered by the barrel it is all I use)
GIAC Chip switch (Doesn't get switched much just dealer visits)
FabSpeed Moderate
HRE's
JL Audio/Focal Sound system
Billet Diverter Valves
Race clutch
Lightened flywheel
Clear side markers
Dark window tint

I am thinking about GT3 seats and a roll bar, perhaps wrapped in leather. Or bigger turbo's and headers. But I think that will require internal motor work, rods etc., am I right on that?

Also, if any of you guys may have an estimate on HP with my current combination? I live in Albuquerque and there isn't a four wheel dyno closer that Phoenix.

I'd go with a GT3 roll bar, harnesses and seats. The stock seats suck pretty badly for support. You'll loose a good bit of weight too!

GT3 seats and roll bar are a good mod. Bigger Turbo's and Headers do not require internal engine modifications.

opps the header thing . rumor has it that if you deburr the stock headers you will be better off. i ofcourse found that out after buying a set of very nice headers from rob king at s cargo in san rafael ca. they looked so good off the car i wanted to just put them on display .

First...are you looking for performance or other (e.g., bling). Most important upgrade is turbos...talk to Todd @protomotive or kevin @ultimatemotorwerks. For other...GT3 seats are a must...my second favorite mod...then of course some CF here and there and other goodies.

I agree with Statman, and if you havent upgraded your turbo boost hoses to the silicone high pressure variety, you need to do that.

wross996TT, I already have every piece of interior CF they make, and performacne is my goal.

TKDalumni, what are "16/24's or 16/26's"?

MARKSKI, Stephan at Imagine did the burn, I am not sure exactly "what stage". Perhaps he will see this thread and let us both know...LOL

OK...I would say turbos (that is what is being referred to by the 16/24 or 16/26 BTW), intake plenum, Si boost hoses and addiotional pragramming to match...look around.

Personally, I would choose additional power over GT3 seats and a roll bar. There are many turbo options available that are vastly better than the stock K16s. I used a set of k16/k24 hybrids for a couple of years that worked GREAT. I got them from Speed Gallery. EvoMS and IA also have several turbo options to fit almost any desired power level.

FWIW, VP Motorsport 109 is NOT 109 octane. Rather, its R+M/2 octane rating is 105 octane: http://www.vpracingfuels.com/vp_01_fuels.html#unleaded . For reasons I will never understand, VP chose to name its Motorsport 109 according to its research octane level, whereas VP names all other fuels according to their R+M/2 octane level (the generally accepted standard). IMHO, its a bit deceptive. I presume your program is actually set for 105 octane . . . if its set for 109 octane, you will be running lean using VP 109.

Sorry about OT, but where do you get the 109 octane (or 105) and how much do you pay? Back to topic, I would also go for more power. I dont think internals are required until after 700hp but others know much better than me.
