suggestions?

[talon6]

tuner is one, if not the best bang for the buck mod.

so does this seem like a solid list? or should i still kick the intake?
i know its going a little over budget but if this is a good setup then would wait and save more for the project...

Still seems like a good list in my book. Check with our vendors and see if they can beat the prices you got.

The intake could go either way. Of and please say you arent going to use the factory air hat and filter.

When the tube cracks sell him a 14x3 chromie.

^^^ Thats plan B. lol

 

[talon6]

get you some stage 8 locking header bolts and good remflex header gaskets. that way you are not having leak issues with the headers. i will never put a set of headers on without both. they are the best. they make a header install worry free.

I would rather have the Fastman throttle body, rather than the hughes...

[the codes]

I am on the same page as these guys

I have the Hughes intake and I would also recommend the msd coil I also have. and the Fastman tb is a must! one of the greatest mods so far for me.

and with the intake, expect to see a loss in the bottom end. the top end is where it really helps. I went ahead and got the intake because of my "future" plans for the engine, regardless it's a gold product IMO though. but if your not going to dive into the engine I think the kegger is your most bang for your buck.

I would say kegger and get the sct tuner from Sean and a set of 1:7 rockers. if you look at some of Sean's dyno graphs those are your two big power mods for
the best buck. I myself wish I had the rockers already.

you veterans feel free to comment and correct anything I might have fumbled!

otherwise nice list!

I didn't this listed anywhere, but if you check your timing chain and it's got slack, you might want to redo it as well.
Also new hoses since you have to remove all of them...

alright so ive tackled a good part of this list and got a little side tracked but this is what im hoping to do and slap it all behind an nv4500 conversion. but my question is will all these parts work and work with my current mods? any help is much appreciated.
