Simple/modest evo 9 build

New to evo scene. Recently bought my evo 9. I have parts on the way dp, tp, and a catback and a aem short ram intake. After getting a tune, can anyone suggest another mod upgrade! Besides suspension. I dont plan on highly modding the evo. Staying on stock turbo/basic bolt ons. Can ayone explain for purposes of fuel pump, wideband, and boost controller! And whether or not I need them even if i dont plan on going e85! Tnx

You should also replace your O2 housing while you're there. Cams and springs are a nice upgrade after that.
You will run out of fuel soon. I believe injectors are first. I think stock IX fuel pump runs out around 325whp. Fuel pump is cheap, so that's just insurance.

you will need a wideband to properly tune the car.
Evoscan will not only log you ECU parameters, it will log (at the same time) your AFR's. this will give a tuner the info they need to tune the car.
i would get an electronic boost control. ive had good luck with the grimmspeed. this will give a tuner much better control of your turbo.

I ran out of fuel pump at 300 whp. Injectors are at 100% duty cycle at 325 whp now. If you plan on going e85, I would get at a minimum 1000cc injectors. If you are shooting for over 400 whp on e85, might as well go 1200-1300cc injectors to have room to grow.

For cams, most people will recommend the GSC S1 or S2 depending on your overall goals.

Upgrade your FMIC, upgrade fuel pump, 1000cc injectors as stated above and tune. add e-85 and you'll have some just under 400hp.

A wideband 02 gauge is also good to have.

I don't think you need cams unless your going for over 400hp.

1300s for head room
flex fuel it, if you cant get e85 close
S2s plus springs etc
fuel pump like others said

however ive thought of all the above too and wont be doing any until i can get an FP red, then do all at once and save tune fees
