Ok, i already got new struts, springs, and AEM CAI... Some people r tellin me fuel, like fuel rail, injectors, then some people say get the Skunk 2 IM, Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams, retainers, springs, what should i do first???

 

Don't get the skunk manifold. I would get JDM headers and a high flow cat, then exhaust

 

what are your goals?

 

What are your plans really man???? FI????? If you are mind as well try and save up for the turbo If your all N/A then my suggestion is a good high flow header cat, and an exhaust. JDM 4-1, Carsound Cat, Apexi N1 which is what I got or you can get TRM or others depends on your taste. Then after that you should get a vafc, cams, gears, list goes on........ Plan your goals first.

 

header and exhaust...why tune the flow of fuel when all you have is an intake

 

i agree with ignite...figure out whether you want to go NA or FI. that decision will pretty much play out what mods you should/need to do in the future.

agreed. the stock fuel rail is very adequate for ~200 whp, so getting an aftermarket one now would be overkill. the intake manifold should be had when you have some nice cams.

 

yea get the rest of the engine breathing done. header,highflow cat, catback. then id go with the valvetrain (springs,retainers,maybe valves depending), cams, cam gears, fpr, vafc and some dyno time. i dont think you really need bigger injectors or a fuel rail unless you get some big cams. ie skunk2 stage3 and such.

oh btw i think youll have to get an ITR CAI if you get the skunk2 IM.

I say get a Spoon 70mm Throttle body and a type R IM (or will that not fit because its a c5?). But yes, work on letting your engine breathe first! *as in, get your exhaust "fixed"!*

I don't know, personally I'd rather get the exhaust before headers, but that's just me. (Especially when my Midas exhaust cracked).

Wait til you get cams, then fuel rail + FPR

 

im stayin NA for now....
