Is fuel management needed yet?

Well in the last 2 weeks my engine/car has started a huge transformation...

To begin, the suspension:

    Then the body:

      And now the engine:

        A bunch of things are still being delivered, but my goal is to have them by this weekend...

        BUt anyways, with the engine breathing a million times better now, should I upgrade the fuel system... I am looking to get the RIPP Mods SDS System within the next few months, and figured that would cover all my fuel concerns, but should I do something now?...

        Any input on this would be greatly appreciated seeing as I do not want to run lean and risk put to much unneeded wear and tear on the engine...

        Well ttyl and have a good one....
        Steve

        Yeah, with those mods I'd just wait till the SDS system is put in. But if you really want something though, the RRM V.2 piggy would be the way to go...

        Pick up a wideband, get the RRM piggy (like you said you did) and start tuning. You shouldn't come anywhere close to maxing out the fuel system Naturally Aspirated, but theres a lot of power to be maximized with a good tune with the mods you have. I'm guessing you can squeeze another 10hp and 5 or 6mpg out of that system.

        do you not do any research on you own? You are going to be getting the SDS kit shortly... and you just bought a piggyback.... i wish i had a couple hundred to waste like you... as it is going to be useless and you are going to have to un-install it when you get the kit. Next time you wanna throw some money away send it to me.

        only reason I bought a piggy back is that it could be a few months till I get the SDS... I got a great deal on the PB and I am sure I can make most of that back when I turn around and sell it... Plus why waste my mods for a few months when I can get the most out of them now...


        sdhes and Sicktght311 THANKS!!! Once I receive everything and get everything installed, I will definitely look into the wideband and FPR... THANKS AGAIN!!!
