Before the addtion of the mani/o2 housing the car made 314/296 at 22psi on a mustang dyno. Im gettin ready to do one last set of "performance mods" to the car as it is still my DD and dont really want to get to crazy with it, then I'll have it retunes again...So i have these mods comin in

-devils own W/I Kit(should be here Wednesday )

Other then cams which i really dont want to do at this time is there anything else im missing... Oh and a clutch cause well Im still debatin on which one i want to go with!

Thanks for any input or advise

junk the devils own alky kit, I had it and it was garbage....it would spray some runs, then some runs it wouldnt spray at all....the pump is HUGE and there is no good place to put it.

I bit the bullet and bought the SMC alky kit and it's night and day.

looks complete congrats!

i knew u had an srt4 be4 i say your ID lol

they all run the devils own kit lol nice kit

i personally run the exedy twin... seems like people are having some trouble lately. i think its bad break in, or people are skimping on the install. i highly reccomend them.. also have a friend with the 6 puck exedy... very nice clutch, little stiffer than the twin but his car drives nice as well

cheers!

i was having a problem with my meth kit when i first got it... i was running the 375 nozzle and it wasnt big enough so the spray was inconsistent.. now i have the 625 and its all set now

apparently its a common problem. i dont get why i would need it.. i think every1 runs the 375 on the stock turbo

cheers!

Ah, common mistake of getting a kit that is used by a different car platform. Evos do not use that kit except the rare occasion. You should be using SMC, Snow, or Aquamist.

The Helix UICP is really useless, too.

Just about every time I tell someone a mod they're adding is useles, they have some justification about how they got it free for "practically nothing." Not sure I believe it anymore...

The reason why I don't believe it is because if you get something free or for almost nothing, then you can sell it, make some cash, and use that cash on something useful, but these people never do that. They install the part because deep down inside they REALLY WANT IT and then use the cover story about it being free to justify having a bling part that is not a performance upgrade.

Why not go with some cams? You can get them to idle just like stock. (depending on how aggresive you would want to go)

Why would you not know those things, and why would they stop you? Neither of those is a good reason for not getting cams. Size? Not like there's many choices. Either 272s or 280s basically, and all of them work. Exhaust cam only? Why would that cross your mind? People only did that before there were any intake cams available, and it didn't make much power. Now, we have full MIVEC cam sets available, and they work. Snag a set of S1s from GSC, and be done with it.
