Default Which Should Come First

Susp & Gears? or F/I?

Why do you think so?

Well if your planning on keeping the car for a good while, full bolt-ons, susp., gears, and all that stuff. Then after all is done, a F/I setup with intercooler and all of that, make sure it is all running right, and no blown motor.

If you've got the money, go FI first. After getting full bolts-ons you're gonna be disappointed that you could've spent the same amount of money and got a lot more power. If you only get a little bit of money at a time, I'd say to put away the money you'd spend on bolt-ons and save for a blower. After you go FI, you can do the bolt-ons to supplement the blower and get the power to the ground.

Build the foundation before you build the house.

Suspension, gears, and chassis take precedence over any significant power adder.
