What Next? S-afc, EBC, Air Filter, and Cat Back

As of now I have a K & N Cone filter, 3" Cat back, S-AFC II, and Greddy EBC. I was wondering what i should do next? LOL I am stuck. To tell you the truth I am still not happy with the cars top end..... I have read that it has to do with Cam gear settings..... So I have some money to blow. But on what I do not know? The rhymes!!!

I was thinking DP, Test pipe..... Still searching for that top end!

3in downpipe with high flow cat and cams, you should have really good top end after that, does the g-reddy EBC hold boost well?

I have to play around with my Greddy everytime I start up the car, or it cuts boost around 15 psi. My normal settings are on the "high" setting, and when I start up the car, I change it to lo - high - lo - high - lo - high like 4 or 5 times, and then it works perfectly. Who knows why, but it works every time. And for me, even if I switch it to kpa, it does the same thing.

As far as next, I'd agreed that you ought to do the Dynoflash once you've got all the "bolt-ons" you're going to do. Even though you can get it reflashed for free or discount, it's still easier to just do it once. If you're going to be changing stuff around all the time, maybe a user-modifiable ECU unit is for you. Regardless, good tuning is as important as hardware. My exhaust put me at 255whp, and the boost control + Al's tuning added over 50 more, plus TONS of torque... over 325 at the wheels!

DOWNPIPE. Complete the breathing system first. If you don't have the down pipe, there's too much backpressure for the exhaust to flow freely. Think of it as constipation.

The Greddy has a boost guage built in. I have an AFC.... Why would I want a reflash? I can just tune with the AFC.... Also My EBC is funny You have to switch it from lo to hi or hi to lo then it is fine.... It is a safety feature on it...

Whatup,

I would def say get the rest of the breathing exhaust mods: DP and HF cat or testpipe .

I am going to do something similar, then add cams/cam gears next year and maybe get a flash to take full advantage of the new setup.

BTW, per other members on here, I recommend that you get the higher capacity walbro fuel pump as well.

Take care,
