What would you do for an all around NA Build...
What would you do for an all around NA build? Keep in mind this would be a daily driver and have a 5 speed conversion done already...
I'm looking at the basics right now: 1. CAI 2. Custom exhaust 3. ECUTune Stage 1 4. Pulley Kit 5. Koni Inserts with lowering coilover springs 6. Sway Bars 7. Custom Strut Bars 8. Bigger/wider wheels and tires... Rotas 9. Brake upgrade along with steel lines 10. Nitrous...? That's about the only things I can think of or that I've seen. But what about more engine modification?

I would go ECUtune stage 2v5, get the full setup, maf, fuel regulator, injectors. the works. espically if your going to run nitrous

Exhaust can lose horsepower as well, but thats a choice you can make. I would go with ECUTune stage 2v5 or whatever with the MAF upgrade. Pulleys are not helpful. Koni/GC combo is a great option for SVXes Sways will help, talk to mychailo, Strut bars are pretty worthless, but they're cheap as well. Wheels and tires are always good. brakes are always good. ehh, nitrous if you want. I would go with camshafts similar to what Tomsvx did. These are my opinions of course.

What is a FPR? Fuel Pressure Regulator? Is that kinda like a AFC?
I was thinking about going with 18s. Is there anything else suspension wise I could do or are the Koni/GC combo the only option? Thanx for the quick responses... ![]()

Oh and if this helps the nitrous was an after thought... probably not a first thing to buy and everything would be going on a 92 LS-L.
EDIT: and... is there any real noticable difference between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 ECUtune? Also is a NA build a good idea for a daily driver/ weekend warrior kinda thing? What all would you do the order of things?

The Koni's are a must but there are a few choices for springs.
My theory, upgrade the handling/braking before upgrading the speed.

Well aside from the GC's, Dayle @ Motorsport Warehouse has some or you can go custom with Mychailo's springs.

Ya those are pretty much what I've found. If I go custom I wanna have a rate greater than 200 correct? I'm looking for some sort of spring that will lower the car... alot... 1.5-2" drop (ok, maybe that's too much, but probably around 1.5" more than likely)... along with something really stiff.
Where do I find some Delta Cams?

Ok, two more questions for now...
Where do I find Mychailo's springs? How much does SVXfiles Big Brake Kit cost... and what does it include (and yes I looked in that thread, but couldn't really find anything, lol)?

The GC's can go that low if you want but I wouldn't recommend it. You wouldn't clear the smallest of speedbumps and parking will kill your front bumper.
