Thoughts on the next upgrade

Let me know what you guys would do if your car had the following:

24/18g's w/wg's
Softronic Tune
SpeedTech Exhaust
Ported OEM Headers
Bailey DV's
AP Airbox
RWD Conversion
Sachs Stg 3 Clutch

I am definately doing the injectors and fuel pump, so list anything else that is worth doing your opinions

Thanks

It would be nice to do a blow through MAF with custom charge piping. What about inter-coolers, methanol injection, and a BBI underdrive pulley?

Are you looking to continue upgrading performance or are you interested in other components?

I would definitely take a look at investing in some coilovers and wheels if you haven't already done so.

A Brembo big brake kit would be good to tame all the power you have now.

Since you have the Agency Power air intake, I would look into the Silicone Boost Hose kit and F-Hose kit as well.

clutch assist delete - best mod i've ever done. the stock clutch feel is terrible, beyond terrible. deleting the assist makes it predictable and tactile.

can not recommend it enough.

another option would be re-gearing the tranny so that 1st gear is longer.

- chuck
