Ok ive got all the basic performance upgrades DP, cat back(still main cat), MBC, FCD, intake, short throw shifter, ACT clutch, and some gauges. i was wondering what my next mod should be. i kind of want rims becuase on the stock tires i get no traction of the launch and i can get a scratch in 4th gear, so i want a lil more rubber on the ground. but yet i dont know if i should by rims yet or get more performance done. any suggestions???

fuel

 

ok...

u got the engine engine flowing much more freely and making a bit more power... but, this increases exhaust flow. The stock wastgate on S5's is decently sized, but will cause boost creep with full exhaust and an intake, preventing maximal (is that a word?) flow from the stock fuel system. So, get ur wastegate ported. Im assuming ur running at stock 7.5psi boost. The stock fuel system will support aprox 10psi safely with the exception of the fuel pump. Buy a walbro 255lhp and make sure to rewire the fuel pump power during instalation. If you still got some money might as well go with some injectors, s-afc to control the fuel... or better yet just grab a standalone. Could also consider getting a Front mounted intercooler... just giving u ideas

 

Like posted above, upgrade your fuel system, and also stop dumping the clutch from 3rd-4th unless you wanna break something..

 

Get better tires

what doest this mean, and where did he mention it?

 

How wide of tires can i fit on the stock rims anyways???

 

go with wider wheels, it will give you a lot more width to play with

 

Noone did, I mentioned it myself.

 

I never said wider; I said better.
If you're using stock 16" x 7" rims, 225/50/16 is the widest recommended you can go.
What kinda tires are you using now?
I bet they are crap.

No reason to go any wider than a 7 inch wheel... just put good rubber on them

 

damn... i LOVE stock TII wheels. if God didn't invent mustang rims, i'd be all over the TII stockers.

definitly get better rubber. some nittos or something. keep it simple man.

money wasted on fancy rims and FCD's and SAFC's and what not can get you a standalone

 

if its traction your after... try some nitto 555r's, got a pair of 315/45 's on the back of my car!

 

im not nessisarrly(ya i killed that word) looking for traction, just trying to difure out what i should do next.
