Default How to get more HP? lookin 4 some pointers

Alright boys...95 with cheap 370 sticks, Dv's, turbo upgrade, strait 4in, Fuel plate, 3000gsk, valve springs, and pump has been timed. I want to know what would be next as far as more power? Problem is I really don't know what it is timed at and i dont know what it has for a plate. Its said to have just over 400hp....What would be your next performance move? Is there anything I could do with the lift pump? Better Injectors? Go easy on me thanks

its a power master?? Cheap. got it used. Big difference from stock. Looking to get a fat shaft 66. Im just wondering about fuel delivery. Do lift pumps make more power or just help keep the pump from working too hard? What about removing plate and afc?? How are you guys doing this?

removing the plate gives you some extra power and fuel but to keep the 66 from barking horribly i would keep that afc

figure out what plate you have, and read the stickies so you can tune your pump, barking is when you have a bunch of boost built up and you drop your rpms and all the boost tries to escape back out of the turbo, but you should get a lift pump and some studs too, they wont really make any power themselves, but theyll allow you to support more

just run with without a plate and keep your afc, running with an afc isnt doesnt make more power, just wastes fuel, rack plug will get more fuel, you can get a water meth kit, and or propane

the 2095 rack plug aka the mack rack plug will give an extra 2 mm of rack travel if the plate and afc set up allow it.

stock plug will max out at 19mm of rack
mack plug will max out at 21mm of rack.
