Decent upgrades
Hey guys i'm not very engine savvy but i was wondering what are some good ways to gain more power like heads, cam, headers etc. it's for the 02 ws6 all i have on it now is the slp lid and loudmouth 2 exhaust any suggestions would be appreciated. Got some extra cash and want to do some work before the spring is completely here.

like you said, heads, cam, bolt-ons. Thats the most common way of making good power but its not cheap since you need other parts to go along with it. Theres the option of power adders such as nitrous, or forced induction. I would start out with some headers, and gears and a tune. That plus what you already have would easily get your car into the 12's and dyno around 350rwhp.

auto or manual? 3.73s, stall, Headers, ORY, and a tune and you could see high 11s (with the right tires) with an auto. 4.10s, Headers, ORY, and a tune for a 6spd

what did you wind up doing? depending on your budget, there's so much you can do between an intake, gears, headers

headers, lca's and tires. then save for a rear. i wouldnt mod the 10 bolt with gears because its not worth it.

4.11 gears man. i have them in mine an it really wakes her up. It even gets decent mileage cause sixth gear is a double overdrive
