Just got my car out of the shop!!! I got hit head on a few months ago and nearly totaled my car. I got my car back yesterday and ready to start building! I had a plan a few months ago, but a lot can change in 3 1/2 months so I would like some advice on what route to head down. I know i cant afford a TVS, so what are the tried and true upgrade combos?

My original plan: (most from ZZP)
ZZP Stage 2 cams
ZZP Long tube header
3" dp and exhaust
2.7" pulley
80# Injectors
phenolic spacer
dual pass w/ option b
NGK Spark Plugs

Like I said, a lot can change in 3 1/2 months and I haven't kept up with news so give it to me. Is this a ridiculous list, minor tweaks needed or is there a better route altogether?

 

sounds right. just swap your stock heat exchanger in front of the radiator or whatever it is and add those mods.

 

sweet! thanks!

 

oh but you're going to need valve springs also and probably and ATI damper to take advantage of those cams

 

no pics, no car. post em up.

 

no need for 3" exhaust, everthing else sounds good. make sure you have a good tuner and youll be set

 

didn't see that it said 3inch exhaust. 2.5 will be fine

 

Tune:30

 

there are some good tuners in the dfw area. I have springs and heat exchanger on my list, just forgot to add them above. heres the post body work pix.

Total paint job coming up. going pearl white

 

I hope that new aftermarket bumper, came with slots for the lower lip.

 

 

Why does it matter? The bumper without the slits precut has markings on the back where the slits should go.

 

It matters due to the shop will charge him extra, and or may not want to do it.

 

Lol it's not hard to cut the holes yourself. A shop doesn't have to do everything for you

 

And if its a aftermarket bumper from like ebay, or LKQ oem replacement parts, there is a good chance that it might not have the markings.

 

It don't matter, I'm doing the paint myself. If I was going to pay someone to do it for me, I would have had the guys that fixed the front end paint it. $500 for paint and a weekend of good weather is all I need.

 

Lkq has the marks. Got mine from them

 

They are OEM spec replacement parts....

 

What type of paint are you using, im a big fan of Omni Plus, and PPG.

 

I used Omni Plus for the first time on the last car I painted and liked the results, so I may go back to that.
