Hello all,
I just got my 2004 L a week ago and already want a few ideas on some mods. i am guessing a JL intake, 4# lower pulley, FTVB, and boost bypass. With those mods am i ok without a chip, or what would some of u recommend for now. My goal is to be mid to high 12's. thanx for all of yor help.

 

Go with JDM exhaust dont let anyone tell u other wise lol. Also get either a 4# or 6# lower pulley, CAI, FTVB a must i will have mine soon, Predator tuner, Drag radials a MUST, those are some good starting mods.. Then just whipe out the check book and purchase a KB lol...

 

So with the JL CAI, FTVB, 4# lower pulley, and maybe some traction bars where do you think i will bein terms of the 1/4 mile?

 

High 12's with good weather and a good 60'.

 

thanx 01svtl, thats about where i want to be. I dont wanna get to carried away with the mods. I am really searching for a setup that will get me low to mid 12's that's not to over the top with mods, thats safe as a daily driver, and not to much in danger of making a $30K rolling bomb. any other thoughts 01svtl

 

I would do some research about running the 4# pulley with out a chip, Although the exhaust mentioned is awsome sounding( I have, and wouldn't trade for anything) your money is better spent on a chip. otherwise your list should have you in the ballpark.

 

add a chip and some good traction and youll be mid 12's

 

Look at my signature that's what I started with.

 

Everything you mentioned is top-shelf stuff and I recommend it all, but, don't run that 4 pounder without a chip, you'll be flirting with danger.

You need the chip to get the full potential out of the engine and keep the rods inside the block.
