Any Mods I'm Missing here before I go FI?
O.K. ya'll, I think I am ready to stop spending and start saving for FI.
Performance mods are:
CAI, 75mm TB, C&L plenum, big brakes, custom exhaust, MGW shifter, DD's and rubber, 3.73's going in on Friday, Eibachs on the way.Edit, oops. I forgot the upper and lower control arms.
Is there anything else I should spend money on before I go with a supercharger?
I know the bottom end on these things are limited. I'll go forged after the FI.

RE: Any Mods I'm Missing here before I go FI?
you're missing: Clutch (if you plan on going above 400-450rwhp), transmission (the stock ones really suck anyway - not to mention 400rwhp), might want to upgrade your axle if you plan on goin to the track. Longtubes are a good mod to do also once you are that far along - but, I would replace the clutch and tranny first If your goin to do that (you will have to if you stay above a high hp#).. if you put on longtubes, and not switch the clutch/tranny out - when you go to replace those eventually you will need to drop the longtubes...
EDIT: you're also missing suspension like SFC, better springs, LCA's - why supercharge the car if you can't get any traction?

Naw, I don't have headers and I don't really plan on getting them any time soon. They just don't make that big of a difference until you are making serious HP. Maybe on down the road when my goal of 500rwhp is reached.

I figured I'd have to go with a stage 2 or better clutch. I forgot about that!!! Thanks man. So the tr3650 can't handle HP?

RE: Any Mods I'm Missing here before I go FI?
Go to a good strong clutch. You may not "need" it but the stock clutch will go fast and a high-po clutch will grab better. Also think about maybe rebuilding your rear end and getting an eaton 4-clutch rear end. By the way man headers DO make a big difference. Long tubes that is. With FI it makes a BIG BIG difference.
