Project is nearing end need a little last minute advice/input
Ok i have all the parts to finish my build up (2nd time around) finally and am getting ready to start putting my engine back together. Heres little rundown of what i have done.
Forged shortblock: 18cc pistons, h-beam rods
Ported heads w/ larger manley intake/exhaust valves and manley valve springs
Patriot cams 233/237 at .050 113lsa .545/.550
Stock Pi intake mani
Vortech v-2 with 3.00 rr ultra grip pulley
31"x14"x4" intercooler with 3" inlets and outlets
Full 3" interooler piping
Dual bypass valves
Stock exhaust manifolds w/ 2.5 highflow catted h-pipe and magnaflow side exit exhaust
I know my exhaust setup blows ***** but i cannot afford to do the longtubes and new x-pipe right now. Basically i am looking for any other small/inexpensive mods i can do while the engine is apart or upon reassembly, i have aleady deleted the EGR so other than that anything anyone knows that could help i would appreciate it.

RE: Project is nearing end need a little last minute advice/input
You could put a set of under drive pulleys on , their pretty cheap. Or new coil packs "msd" and a 6AL controller to go with them. Or even justa nice set of plug wiresand plugs. Maybe you want something more like "a lighter flywheel" ?? I don't know if that would give you more hp.
If you haven'y changed your fuel filter I would def. do that,its so simple , and so over looked.[
]Hope that helps

nm I just read your sig and you have a larger MAF already. I'd say get some gears also.

You don't run UDP's on a blower motor and he doesn't have spark plug wires...Go fish...

About the flywheel,
From previous posting on this forum, i was told the steel flywheel provides better torque and a better HP gain over the aluminium.

have 95mm maf already, already have aluminum flywheel these are all good ideas but most have already been done keep them coming guys all this is stuff i couldve overlooked i bet theres something i didnt do that needs to be done.
as for the windage tray whats the purpose of that ive heard of it but do not know what it does
And i deleted the EGR becuase i snapped the EGR tube by accident they do not bend very well at all
