Default what else?

so i have a 91gt and im wondering what else i can get for my car
besides the cam and heads..im ordering my MAF and 3.73 or 4.10's sat.
i have UDP's, U/L intake manifold, CAI, 70mm TB/EGR, Headers,
Hi Flow Cats, and 2.5" Exhaust

is there anything else performance wise i can get or should get before
i eventually get my heads and cam?

how about bigger injectors and fuel pump? 24lb injectors and a 255lph fuel pump will work for a well modified motoe.

definitly before! this is what will give the motor the extra fuel it needs for the bigger heads. you wont notice any real gains before heads but you would really be losing out when you put the heads and cam in. they are a neccessity.

you dont need those 24's until the heads. the fuel pump is a good idea though. you need to get the injectors and a AFPR at the same time as the heads. You really should do some suspension work on the car.

^^ I agree... you are at the point where its time for suspension work. With suspension, it all depends on how far you want to go with it and how much money you have to spend. You can get a k member, tubular a arms, U/L control arms, coil overs, struts, shocks, springs, subframes, torque box reinforcements, lightened sway bar, strut tower brace, anti roll kits, etc. etc. There are many difference routes/companies to go with. Make your move

I agree w/ 88blue and stanglx, stiffen up your chassis and suspension, especially if it's all still stock. The power will mean 0 if you can't get it to the ground.
