Here are a whole bunch of options. I was asked on another forum to do some ground work and play with some numbers and hp and what not with options out there. Of course there are more options and items to do different. I'm all for adding more data to this if you have things to add PM me so I can add it to the list and keep it all clean and stuff.

Hope this all helps everyone out there realize what's there, what can be done, and some general prices.

Enjoy!!

Disclaimer!!!

I’m just doing this for everyone’s knowledge. I DO NOT own a shop, have relatives in a shop or have any alliance to a shop. This is all research I did on my own by either calling shops, dealers, emailing them or looking on the internet. I can not be held accountable for errors, price increase or decrease. The prices were correct as of today, Sept 1, 2010. Also I’m sure you can tell where some of the info is from or where I got it, please do not call out names of shops or anything, they are all out to build fast cars and provide a living for themselves, their families, and their employee’s. We all know mail order is going to be cheaper since they don’t have the overhead, so don’t talk about it or bring it up. I don’t want the Mods to have to do extra work to keep this on topic. If you feel I have made an error, PM me and I’ll look into it and fix it if necessary or explain what I used.

Thanks, have fun and keep the rubber side down!!!



So let me lay some ground work here:

  • Used 450 rwhp for the formulas where needed.
  • All gains are what is said through an Auto, it’s what I have so it’s what I care about. We know you with sticks will get better.
  • Prices could vary as some I have found very good deals, others I have not, you can do the math if you find it cheaper.
  • I know dyno’s vary, so take the hp for what its worth.
  • I indicated if I used the shops estimates, a person’s results, or anything different
  • Labor is specific to each shop, they are hidden to protect them, if you can find labor for a cheaper price AWESOME!
  • Dyno’s and Tunes are also from 1 or 2 shops. I didn’t call every shop and ask their prices, again you can do the math and fix it.






So bring on the suggestions, comments or questions. I think this could be a lot of fun!

Before you do anything, go to your dealer and complain about the rattle at high rpm. I never really heard any rattle from mine but my son said he did. I went to the dealer, the service advisor said he couldn't really hear anything so he got the shop Forman who listened for about 3 seconds and said " book it in for a replacement. I think they know they will all fail eventually and would just as soon replace it before it can cause further problems. If you mod it first, set aside an extra 4 or 5 thousand for when it goes.
