I don't know if anyone has come to the end of the road when it comes to modding options but I'm hoping for headers or some kind of forced induction. Everyone has come out with their own exhaust and intakes but when will a company bridge he gap. Stillen still has the headers R&D on the back burner and I know nothing about Artisan or if their turbo kit is any good.

Forgive me for sounding like a guy with money to burn but I've never owed a car so new to the market where I'm waiting for the next best thing. Short of installing the Stillen Body kit I'm just about done.... Anyone have any leads on parts? Thanks

hoorah! yeah!

anyways, d-roll. I've noticed you have some nice suspension mods. Is there a very noticable difference from when you had just the eibachs to the eibachs+RSB and then to the eibachs+RSB+endlinks? Thanks in advance

I know Addias was on that Vortec Supercharger a while back, I'd be up for that now. Like I told the rep from Vortect.... just give us time to get our basic mods done before we jump on the forced induction. Well, maybe we're all not there yet but by spring I'm praying for some big support.

Anyways, forced induction aside, lets get some headers.... So many exhausts but no one has completed the pluming from the engine. Sorry everyone, I don't post often but check up many times a day to see what's going on with the coupes. Just more or less saying what's been on my mind for the past few months of waiting on parts from Nismo, Stillen, ect....

Oh, Nismo ground effects kit in development..... just waiting to see this thing before I jump on the Stillen fascia wagon. I can't get anything from them on a status.

Bro, in all honesty, if you want new parts created, then try to get them prototyped. Sitting around gripeing about it isn't going to do much. Believe me, if anyone here has hit a modification wall in the a/c community, its me. However, I keep pushing to get the most parts created I can. Sometimes things go good. Sometimes things go bad. The best thing to do is keep pushing, because someone is going to notice the love at some point, and It will all pay off in production piece that betters the community

the turbo for the 2.5 has been created by STILLEN already. Just waiting for some more production barriers to be met, and I should be on sale

Did you specify 2.5? The do not plan on one for the 3.5. However, I have seen the 2.5 kits fabrication processes personally and I also know the owner of the 2.5 they did the prototype on.

I would like to see a mildly priced supercharger, lightweight pulleys, Short shifter and I THINK I would be happy for a while.

On a side note: I guess I don't see how turbo kits get priced so high. I mean $5,500 for the Artisan Turbo Kit !!! If you pieced the same kit together, you would prob. be looking at like $2,500-$3,000.

You realize that on the VQ, lightweight pulleys on the street and on the track have never shown to make an improvement. From other posts on other forums, these seems to make no difference, and if installed improperly can cause damage to the vehicle.

Just because lightweight pulleys help on a 5.0L V8 by ford does not mean they help on our 3.5L V6's. Two different engines.

It could be worse...my old 2000 V6 Cougar, I had to wait a year after I bought it before reasonable aftermarket parts came out.

I wonder whey they decided to make the turbo for the 2.5 instead of the 3.5 first since the 3.5 owners would probably be the better consumers for a performance part like a turbo. Jusy wondering

by the sounds of what blake said higher up, stillen not only made the 2.5 turbo kit before the 3.5, but they dont even seem to have plans to make a 3.5 kit

Are you kidding me?

Hmm having a turbo installed in your car as we speak.

That sounds like you hit a huge wall. lol

Every modification I have gotten, since the Injen intake, I have either been the prototype or a production tester. Thats the wall I am speaking of
