Car Setting question PLEASE HELP

I have a 94 FD with 54k Miles.
I have done intake, catback, double friction clutch, Short throw shifter, silicone hose job and power pulleys.

My next move would be getting a SS downpipe and a M2 stage3 ECU. Also I'm thinking of getting a M2 medium SMIC intercooler after that.

would it be ok to run on the stage 3 ECU w/o the intercooler for a while? or is it gonna be running too rich? If you were to pick between an aftermarket radiator and an intercooler which one would you go for first?

Thanks guys

Well, the intercooler really depends on how much boost you are wanting to run. IMO, if you are wanting to run over 11PSI of boost, you should look into an upgraded intercooler.

The radiator as I said in your other thread is a very good reliability mod. The stock radiator has plastic parts that tend to crack from the extreme heat. However, I have seen several heavily modified FD's using the stock radiator.

If you are going to keep the boost levels down, 10 or 11 PSI, then go for the radiator. If you want more performance than reliability, then go for the intercooler.
