Hey guys I'm just about to the point where I'm not really sure what to do next.. I'm in between spending a bunch of money and waiting on parts.. so I've got some time to research.

It seems like I've got so much more but I guess these are the only main power mods. I've got more in tires than I do mods!

I've been thinking about a set of 264/264 cams with tuning BUT i'm in WV which means it will take planning and a lot of driving to get this done.

I'm thinking as of right now my best bet would be to get a nice wideband o2 and do some conservative tuning with the safc. Then when I get cams I could do a little tuning with the wideband/safc to hold me over until I can get some real tuning.

After cams I'm really at a loss.. I'm not sure what would come next.. Possibly upgraded IC pipes and an upgraded IC? Or would this be better to have before the cams?

Just trying to generate some idea's here.. I'm wanting to push around 300-350whp.. with the possibility of upgrading to a 6.5 RS TME turbo in the next 6mo-1year.

 

to get to 300-350whp, i'd recommend cams, intercooler with piping, some UR pulleys, maybe some nology hotwires, and a tune.

That'd put you right where u wanna be, without upgrading the turbo

 

I really don't want to mess with the pulleys.. but cams and ic/ic piping is on the list.. I had some 8.5mm wires but wasn't really happy with them.

Also the turbo upgrade wouldnt really be so much for power.. just the super fast spool.. and I'm sure one of these days the stock unit will die on me.

 

I am in the same boat. I love the straight 264 setup, with the TT tune, and I really do not think the intercooler core upgrade is justified at this point for the money. I am in desperate need of a clutch however, and probably do the flywheel as well, so thats where my money is going. As far as power mods, I have no idea where else to go with the stock turbo setup.

Any other suggestions?

 

Ditto on that.. clutch will be before anything.. I'm probably going to go with ACT Hdss and a resurfaced stock flywheel.

Pretty sure you're right about the IC upgrades.. however the Buschur staged upgrades upgrade the IC piping (at least the upper pipe) and the MAF pipe in stage 2 and then the IC & Cams in stage 3.

I'm trying to stay away from an open element intake filter.. I'd like to keep the stock unit or maybe get the apex-i induction box.

What type of differences did you notice with the 264? I've lost a little down low power with the 3" exhaust.. I'm just curious if the 264's would bring it back to life down low.

Also have you been keeping track of your gas milage before and after? My avg highway right now is 23mpg.. which is good considering all the mountains around here.
