so im pretty excited im getting all my new toys installed on monday, JBP vortex headers,JBP vortex downpipe, SLP dual outlet, dss stage 2 axels, and avid tranny mounts.
already have my injen and new clutch so im pretty excited what its gunna turn out to be like

 

lucky wish i had a vortex header

 

damn.. nice. good job on the axles.. a lot of people dont upgrade them until they break

 

no you dont. pain in the ass to install, super expensive, someone has yet to show a dyno of it doing anything better than a traditional mid-length for our cars. has an "interesting" sound to say the least. lol

btw OP, if a shop is installing that header for you, they are going to hate you

 

its a good thing to be 17 with a dad who likes cars more then you if you know what i mean lol saved my self almost 1000 bucks

 

he is gonna hate you for installing that header. lol. and make sure you get underneath there and help out! its always great to learn

 

lmaoo yup mechanic already wants to kick my ass he says it even looks complicated but w.e hsi problem not mine lol and im hoping to get a tune soon and a a couple dyno pulls to see the results

yeah im hoping to skip school and be there atleast one of the days

just a question, you guys think this is gunna b really loud?

 

never heard of avid tranny mounts?

 

thats what i was told would get rid of wheell hop and ive seen alot of balts with them so i unno lol

 

why tune it? i think you should do some power mods before you tune it otherwise your gonna be there two months later spending the same money to do something you could have done once

 

i was planning on getting stage 2 first and then getting a custom tune, and i forgot to mention a B&M not much but it helps lol

 

if your heavy into modfication i suggest that you piece together your own kit, or purchase one from an aftermarket vendor like OTT 60# and a 2.8 is a great place to start

definitely the best bang for your buck

just some friendly advice.

 

i would but i kinda dont wanna void my warranty, and im new to the whole car stuff so i dont even know whats next on the list for power adders lol

 

naw, i understand. just know the cheapest most powerful way to go is def aftermarket kit.
but if you are a warrenty guy then probably not the best choice

 

well you sound like you know your things so ima ask lol what do you think would be good for the next mod?

 

cooling mods. BIG Front mount Heat exchanger. Dual pass intercooler endplate w/ option b. then drop in some 60lb injectors, a 2.8 inch pulley and a nice tune

 

you goin to regret if you go with the stage 2
gm tune sucks
i when with it an d2 month later i was like i want more
so get your own kit
after all your waranty will be voind when you tune your car.

 

sounds very confusing for a noobie lol and what the hell is all this lol i understand pulley and injectors but the rest kils me lol

yeah i wana do that so bad but im jus scared my dads gunna wanna kick my ass lol and that wont be worth it

 

well, two options i think
if your going to get into performance modification past stage 2 your going to have to void your warranty at somepoint considering you have basically all the available boltons
like i said earlier an aftermarket kit is possibility other things you can do is cooling mods, easiest would to get a new Heat exchanger from CX racing or a dualpass option b (search this one, im not that knowledgeable but a lot of people do it) and the most difficult mod would be a meth injection of some type.

if i were you, id wait a little bit before you started buying more stuff and start looking at peoples track numbers and see there set ups (hatrickstu) definitely do some searching and read old threads bcuz there is a lot of info to be had there

otherwise you could always look into sound or appearance if you dont want to void your warranty (plz stay away from the big wings decals and underglow)

if i was gunna do those things i would have bout a super fast killer vtec civic

 

do you have a 2007 SS/SC? if so, the GM stage tune is pretty damn good despite what people say, my buddy has logs on hptuners. the car holds 22 degrees of timing throughout wide open throttle with no knock retard. okay so basically, supercharged cars suffer from something called heatsoak. your going to hear this term a lot=intake air temperature 2(IAT2). this is the temperature of the air after the supercharger. the lower this temperature is, the more efficient the supercharger is which=consistent power. on our intake manifold, the stock endplate passes coolant through there 4 times, with the dual pass it moves through twice...moving the fluid much quicker to prevent it heating up. a big front mount heat exchanger is basically a big radiator for our supercharger coolant. more coolant=longer time to heatsoak. option B for the dual pass kit just adds more fluid to the system. you want to do these cooling mods because the 2.8 inch pulley will be creating a lot of heat. if you have any other questions, just ask

 

whats the best cooling mod outthere that provides the best results thoe adn can you combine cooloing mods like th heat exchanger and the meth injection?

 

just keep in mind you will have to be tuned for the meth injection, i recommend front mount HE and dual pass w/ option B as your next mods. then drop pulley sizes on the supercharger

 

yeah its a 07 ss/sc but whats the better colloing mod cause now i just dont know which one would be the best to get because of heard of alot of people having meth injection, so what about combining meth injection with the heat exchanger?

alright well if im planning on getting a tune after i get my stage kit so will it be worth it?

 

dont get the GM stage kit if you plan on getting tuned right after. it would be pointless. but lets say you piece together your own kit of a 2.8 inch pulley, 60lb injectors and you buy meth injection. you would have to be tuned for all of this
