What would you say my nest mod should be? Interested in many opinions!

Hey guys, I was thinking of throwing one more mod in the car before it breaks out for spring and wanted to get some input on what you all thought. You will see in my sig. the mods I currently have. I know some of you will say an upgraded radiator but thats already on my list of "to get" things. I was thinking of getting 1300cc injextors but would I even benefit from them at this point? I want the car to look stock so exterior mods are pff the list, let me know what you think, I appreciate your input.

Oh crap, I forgot the other thing to mention, the Power FC is also already on the list of things to get, I am looking for a less expensive little toy to give it before she hits the road again.

I am looking for something small, somewhat affordable that I may have overlooked.

i think you passed by the *affordable* stage long ago.

my advice is upgrade the fuel system and get your PowerFC installed..
get yourself atleast some bigger secondaries. 1300cc?
you'll be able to control them with your PowerFC installed.
most of us FC guys just get 720s, but you FD guys seem to ALREADY HAVE 850s YOU BASTARDSS.

NEXT STEP IS BNR STAGE 3 TWINS BABY

850s are actually the size of the stock secondaries there JACOB!! LOL, j/k. Anyways, I guess injectors will wait for the install of the PFC.

Hmm, I thought about that too, I didnt have enough knowledge back when I replaced the cluth to have the flywheel replaced with a lighter one but what does a lighter one really do, besides the obvious of saving weight, lol.

A lighter one allows the engine to rev faster because it has less weight to push. It allows you to rev faster in gear. If you drag race a lot the car becomes much harder to lanch.

Power from the engine is lost having to turn everything in between the engine and the ground. A light flywheel will turn easier than a heavy one, and will reduce the HP loss.

Light flywheel sounds good but I think the short shifter will be the next little gift to the FD, thanks for the ideas guys.

He's already got an engine torque brace if you read his signature.

Man I hope you were kidding there, well about the leds and valve stems. Anyways, the short throw shifter will be next most likely.
