Default Low End Power?

Anyone have any suggestions for low end power increasing bolt ons? I'm sure we've all experenced that lack of power from the 500-3000rpm range, and i was just wondering it there any bolt on peices that can help the low end. And keep in mind i would prefer to stay N/A for the time being.


and also is anyone making aftermarket camshafts for xb's yet? all ive heard was that you can get them re-grinded, and that adds a significant increase? (cost for the regrind? where can you get it done?)



Any suggestions?

4-2-1 header would increase low end, lightened pulley will free up some hp, intake would help but not sure if its low end or high end........

yeah. from what i understand the intake's added power is only felt in the high rpm's. but the pulley sounds like a good idea. i just checked out the perrin and since im getting the perrin short ram i thought i might as well go with their crank pulley too.

as far as headers what would you reccomend, i was looking at either the strup or the dc. im leaning towards the strup because of its claimed "6-8" hp gains and it seems to have less harsh bends then the dc. what would you reccomend?

I've heard rumors that DC Sports is coming out with a 4-2-1 Header later this year, the one out there is 4-1-1.

Perrin intake and exhaust

Yeah. basic I-H-E setup, then add a pulley. I got the perrin one. Quicker revs and maybe a little hp gain, nothing too impressive.
