I think it basically just makes things snap too.., a bit more like I would have originally expected the car to be in the 1st place. But I'm on the give me enough rope method with my mods. SO I'm taking in some slack.

I'm going to let it roll as is for the first 1k miles before I get into the springs and shocks and whatnots.

My original point was that it's hard to say with that 1 unit since the car was always sick. But overall. I have a vast improvement and thus far. I am happy with things. How they are and what's coming.

If the engine holds together I can keep her running.

This avatar is what the bay looked like once I cleaned when I got it.

Oh, I understand. It's one of those things that needs to be tried on a healthy stock car and then on one with some basic mods. Even if it made a massive difference on my N/A that wouldn't mean it would do the same for someone else... my car's got too much in the way of mods.

So, no one likes my engine bay... so much for the hijack.

I was thinking about getting the blaster coil with iridium plugs and NGK wires. Does the walbro fuel pump really help that much?

The Walbro's really one of those "for down the road" mods. They're reliable as hell though and definitely worth the investment... Supramacist's got a long lived engine in mind.

Bullet proof is what I was aiming for.
I built the car to suit MY driving style.

I can't express to you enough H8's. Any 1 thing doesn't do shite.
You gather up a dozen little things and your shite just got real.

You have to start somewhere. If you do plugs and wires and a blaster coil. Well you still need a new dry flow fliter and fluids check to complete this series. Start swappung out 15$ hoses when ever you get a shot at it and things aren't tight.

Believe me your car has plenty for you to do with it...., without modding anything.
You should get it running as close to stock as possible before mod1.
