Well I have an issue at hand. This summer I will at least make enough for an HV3 insert, but may just may be able to save for an SSM90. So here is where it gets fun, I have terrible saving habbits and have a hard time saving my money. Saving 1k-2k for me would be very difficult and a challenge. If I were to buy the downpipe from Jorgs and install the HV3 insert and possibly get a PCM do you think I would have quite the fast GT? Regardless I just thought I would post this and get weather you guys think I should go with HV3 or SSM90. Boosten told me that he has a friend with mods similar to mine with a downpipe, and pcm and HV3 and runs 14.8's. To me this would be amazing and would satisfy me but is this a reasonable time I could run with those mods?

I do realize im at a Fork in the road...The road to the SSM90 offers much more modding potential in future but with modding comes issues and more money. (something i do not have most of the time).
Getting the HV3 I realize will restrict me to modding in future but will offer me some ponies that i would be happy with.

who doesnt have saving issues when the mod bug hit you ?

Sounds like you dont really want to mod extensively, so i voted HV3, PCM, DP, call it a day.

My car is a daily driver, a must for me to have daily. You are somewhat right that I do not want to mod extensively and would really like to save the 100,000 mile warranty on my car, which I think would be voided by adding a blower on top of it. Something in me though really wants a supercharger because it would open many doors, but then I realize my finacial situation and it's kind of a huge let down but feel that maybe this would be a great point to start learning to save...

lol, who was the guy on here that asked if GM would fix the recall with a top swapped GT

That was funny

just some food for thought, knowing my driving habits and if I were to have an SSM90 I would have some issues with tranny down the road, I can sense it. Maybe not following the band wagon is a better choice?

Get neither because I don't see you following through with the SSM90 and once you spend the money on the HV3 you'll be disappointed and want more.

x2.

A 14.8 isn't going to satisfy you at all.

14.8 is slow fun acceleration here and there like a 60 pull could be fun (you can feel the HV3) but im cammed and still only run 14.7.....save your money

If you want performance go with the SS-M-90 you will gain a good 85ft.lbs of trq. all across the rpm range ,as far as the hv3 yes it does give some net gains but only on top end,Chico(pops)

cant u use the HV3 with a turbo?

Yes.

You make a good point here. I think that a little more power to my car would be fun its just I do not want to spend in the thousands on performance, it just seems a little much in these economic times.

If you don't want to spend in the thousands do not go FI. My 2 cents

Is there any issues that GT's have after a SSM90? (can mean nething to just more maintence issues, etc?)

too much WOT and the tranny going ? hehe
