I would get 4.10's unless you plan on going FI in the near future. Other than that it all looks good.

I would just invest in a S/C and exhaust and a good tune instead of the rest.

I wouldn't bother with that plenum BS and all that other crap, I agree with JD, buy a good SC, get a good exhaust, maybe headers and such as well(FULL EXHAUST), then get a real good tune and spend all your other money on tires and suspension.

thanks for the advice///// if i wanted these things and maybe a s/c in the furture would i just exclude underdrive pulleys and CAI?
is 373 of for s/c?
how do i get a good tune? diablosport progammer for s/c?

jdaniel

Take it to a Performance shop and get Dyno tuned. $500-$850 at most places here in Tx.

Forget the intake spacer that is only good for highly modded NA motors.

If you plan on going FI you need to decide what you want. If you go with a vortech style you should do a 75mm TB, intake plenum, and 85mm MAF with 3.73's. If you go the Kenne Bell style (I plan on eventually) you just need the 75mmTB and 85mmMAF. 4.10's will still work with a KB because of the power delivery is much different than the Vortech style blowers.

If you plan on staying NA 4.10 is a must, and everything else will work nicly, loose the intake spacer though and go with a 85mm MAF. C&L makes a nice intake kit with MAF and tube for under 400. Their plenum is just as good as the Accufab just not polished and less money.

You may want to consider a tune in either the form of a chip or hand held. If you go with the chip get a steeda timing adjuster and have them leave the timing bump in the chip out. You will still be able to control the timing and actually advance it more than with a chip or hand held.

If you ever plan on doing Nitrous you will need to pull timing to reduce the likly hood of detonation(really bad with nitrous) So a chip with bumped timing will have to be removed(steeda adjuser is handy now). Unless you go with a dual tune chip that allows you to switch from a NA tune to a Nitrous tune.


Just some other things to think about. It is good to plan what you want the car to be exactly before you start buying stuff. That way you buy only what you need and not anything you don't.

Those look like a good list of mods... I'd start with #10 though and go the other way. Welcome to the boards

jdaniel

yeap. Thats what I did.

mdvaldosta

JD - you want me to go ahead and send that chip out? I can wait for the $$ I trust ya. I need your address.

jdaniel

OOOHHH PLEASE!!!!!!!! I have sold the timing adjuster already. He has sent me the check in the mail. I would GREATLY appreciate it.
