Any Other Mods I Should Consider?
Quick re-introduction:
Hello everyone! I've been a long time member of these boards but in and out of the modding scene throughout the years. My car was last tuned on 91 back in 2009 with the following mods and made 315 WHP and 300 WTQ:
Apexi Power Intake (with induction box)
GM 3-port boost solenoid
ETS V2 LICP
1000cc RC injectors
255 Walbro FP
Titek V2 O2 housing
Titek downpipe
RRE Rally Cat
Agency Power catback
I'm now looking to get tuned on E-85 as a final step to power modifications (for the mean time, I want to start working on aero/handling). I purchased AEM gauges (AFR, boost and oil pressure) to prepare as well as new spark plugs, anything else I should be aiming for basic bolt-on wise? To either make more power, for monitoring purposes, etc? I know I could go for porting my exhaust manifold, or buying a bigger FMIC, but I'm just mainly looking for bang for buck mods.
Thanks in advance!

I would highly recommend an intercooler with all your mods, especially if you're going with a high boost/e85 tune.
We have a 3.0" intercooler capable of supporting 500whp or a 3.5" if you plan on more horsepower down the road, both fit with factory crash beam and under tray.
No point in making a ton of horsepower if you can't keep the temps low enough to enjoy it.
Thanks!

I agree a bigger intercooler would definitely be a good thing to buy, i run a ETS as well!
If you are going to be running E85, i suggest upgrading your fuel lines to stainless steel lines like i had to do for my DSM.
Also i would grab a AEM or fuel lab Fuel Pressure Regulator and 1000 RC injectors aren't great to run for e85, when they are converted you are actually running less than 1000, and you should at least go to a 1200 RC.
Good luck!
