2006 monte-can i add other mods?

[blackmontess]

i just purchased a u-7191 diablosport programmer for my 06 chev monte carlo ss (june 08). is there any other after market mods like k&n cold air that will work with the programmer?

his name is Lew. and his car is Blue.

i say do it all at once.. cold air intake, shorty headers, magnaflow exhaust... then tune for all that stuff with your predator.

pick up 30 rwhp with all that + tuning.

there are no headers for our cars.... remember, we're FWD... and believe me when I say that there is NO room in that engine compartment... it's wall to wall motor.. heh... can't even get my hand between the belt/pulleys and the fenderwell... can get to about the 2nd knuckle at that's it...


but, you can do an exhaust system... magnaflow makes a cat-back setup, but it's pricey and you will lose some low end torque...

so you can do that or get your own custom exhaust setup made...

you can get a poly motor mount which helps transfer the power to the wheels immediately, instead of the stock rubber...

if you really wanna get into it, you can get new rockers/rods/springs, etc etc...

there are also shift kits available...

alot of info about modding our cars can be found at:

what about an UDP ? can you get to that?

i know my throttle body spacer pickep up 14 horsepower alone.

[06MonteSS]

nope, to get to any of the pulleys and shit you gotta pull the motor...

and TB spacers don't do anything for us... some guys have tried it and didn't notice any difference...

what spacer are you using?

[blackmontess]

cool! if i do get the cold air, how do i start to tune the predator?
...and thanks for th input..

[06MonteSS]

ask, and ye shall receive....

and once you get your LTFT (long term fuel trim) dialed in to the proper range by making injector slope adjustments, lemme know... I'll have you send me your tune file outta your car and will get a custom tune created for you with some additional special tweaks to really wake that sucker up!

[blackmontess]

whoa...dude...that was tons of info...thanks alot...once again... i'll let you know when progress is made cool!

[06MonteSS]

yeah, ya might want to print that out, cuz you're gonna need to read it more than once... heh...

Can you Show me where this Throttle Body Spacer is proven to give 14hp. I am confused these spacers were originally designed for carbureted engines, actually giving a little better performance at top end and to prevent puddeling of fuel at the base of the plenum inside the manifold. They are only useful perhaps if used in a TBI installat ion

sickRED was joking, on the newer engines, the fuel is supplied beyond the intake manifold, the spacers do next to nothing. The may work well on older vehicles with a throttle body injection or carb, where the fuel was mixed with the air at the throttle body.
