A Re-Introduction
A Re-Introduction
Hey everybody, I introduced myself a year ago, but really haven't browsed too much since then, mostly looking at the marketplace.
I currently drive an 04 Stage 2 SRT-4. I am parting the ***** out and selling it so I can buy a IX when I get back from deployment in '09. I asked some newbie questions in a different part of the forum, but I figure it's smarter to post it in here, obviously.
Anyways, I have a few ideas on what I want to do for performance, but I'd love to get some input on my choices.
3" TBE w/ no cat(BR, AMS, or namebrand i.e. HKS/GReddy/etc.)
AEM intake
some sort of EBC
aftermarket intercooler(BR, AMS, or AGP)
reflash(BR or AMS, assuming they are the best)
cams
portwork on intake manifold/throttle body/turbo/exhaust manifold
Pretty vague huh? Basically I'm wondering what companies I should go with. I have pretty much figured out I'm gonna go with BR or AMS, but I have no clue who is better. And for the cams I'm not sure if I should go with the Cosworth or the HKS ones.
My goal for the car is to be a street car over everything else, but I still want it to haul in the 1/4 mile. So the most important things to me are driveability and reliability. I'm assuming that with the cams it will be able to hold its own on the highway, cuz right now my SRT definately has no problem up top and I'd like to retain that with this car.
Also I'm assuming that it would be best to get the reflash after everything else is done. If I seem like a noob, its because I am when it comes to the wonderful world of Evo's. I apologize in advance, and am hoping for some great advice and suggestions. Thanks alot guys!
Oh, and here are some pics of my current ride if you are interested at all:
