You think that's slow.....you shoudl drive a 4 banger truck.

the mods you mention will help - particularly the pulley. Adding a CAI and cat back will enable it to breathe better. It's likely you can see up to 25hp gain with those mods used together.

CAMs and cam gears will net you some serious extra power. Go through isky and get yourself a set of RUSS cam gears. Dont use schneider cams!!!

you have to call isky for the specs. Then have a local regrind shop regrind yours or set you got from the J-yard. A local place does regrinds at 80 bucks a pop. Cam gears can be spendy but if you cruise the z31 sites you can find them cheap. Honestly, its the only way you will see REAL power from an NA engine. peace.

even more of a gain then, especially the cam gears by themselves. A guy I know netted 12whp alone by just adjusting his cam gears 1degree on his boosted vg. pretty crazy.

call isky for the cam specs they don't list them online. Look on z31performance.com for the gears in the links pages. Theres two differet types I believe but RUSS cam gear are the most popular. peace.
