What's next?

So far I have 3"tb exhaust, AEM short air ram, hallman mbc, forge bov, SAFC II, boost guage, Dynoflash custome tune, wallbro 255 and i think that's all. What do you guys think would be the next best mod. What would give me the best bang for the buck?

From: in front of your car
try getting rid of that short ram (losing about 20whp), run some race gas, turn the boost up, slap in a twin plate clutch & front lsd (to apply the power u have), upgrade your brakes (no-brainer), cams with the highest lift possible (build the head to support it) & see how your car runs. if that's enuff, drop in a 2.4L, big turbo, & a motec ecu...

You've really gone off the deep-end, man. What is wrong with you? The answer is cams. The rest of that stuff is just ridiculous. Why in the world would upgrading brakes be a no-brainer? Must be on Miami crack or something...

well i believe cams would be the best thing for next mod. you basically have everything that you should you to about the high 300s to 400 hp. anything else would be too extreme if its a daily driver.

+1 for cams.

a new turbo manifold or larger injectors might not be a bad idea either.

Sorry to put you in check and knock you off your high horse. "The worst thing I've seen is poeple coming here with 400whp and no brake upgrades. If you upgrade the way a car accelerates you should upgrade the way it decelerates." said some wise old man that works at a race track. Thats the comon sence part.
