What MODS to do next?

[oconnb17]

I need help on what mods to do next... any thoughts?

Here are some of my thoughts but not sure what I should do and in what stages. Maybe Cams and custom tune first?

1) Wideband 02 to datalog and custom tune given my setup.
2) Maybe inner airbox mod, have heard mixed, so probably not.
3) CAMS (NHRS perhaps)
4) Iridium plugs?
5) 1050 Kit?
6) 1200 Kit?
7) Repack Jardine - maybe baffle?

Plugs are cheap enough to do that there is no reason not to.

And since you are essentially asking for peoples opinions, I would remove the header wrap and polish the pipes instead. Having once had my headers wrapped I'm speaking from experience that it does very little to help with the heat and there are enough horror stories of cracked and corroded headers that taking it off makes sense. Plus polished headers look better and are easier to maintain once polished than header wrap.

I would change the white wire mod on the headlights to the dpdt relay/flasher mod for HID setup that is listed in the DIY section.

The white wire mod i'm referencing isnt a headlight mod.

The white wire mod i'm referencing isnt a headlight mod.

Either way, even with dual headlight mod, if you have HID headlights, having the flasher/dpdt relay mod would help with your HID longevity

Hey oconnb17,

I am looking to purchase a set of used handguards. If you still have them, would you be interested in a sale?

mix 2 stroke oil in with the gas! i cant remember the ratio! ha ha ha :black_eyed:

 

[oconnb17]

PM ME to discuss handguards. Not sure I have all the parts, but can look through.

Go deep.

Our NRHS CAT3 cams are not a great choice for a stock 9. If you're adding compression with a 1050 kit and headwork, sure. Otherwise skip cams and get the 1050 kit or even better, headwork. Also get and install a 12 throttlebody while you're in there.
