[QUOTE="firemanmike, post: 5521299, member: 19715"] So I already have the mods in my sig. I am now adding the following, all at once next week (already got my appointment at my shop): NOS wet kit #02120 Bottle warmer WOT switch Window switch Purge kit BilletFlow Throttle body (from new run) Polish ported plenum New plugs (if needed) Possible taller gears; 3:55's to 3:73's or 4:10's Re-tune on Dyno Bogart 16" x 11" with QTP 28" X 11.5" Bogart 15" x 4 1/2" with some Jap skinnies So I've got a lot of questions and need help. I don't want my shop telling me what they want to do, I want to tell them what I want (of course I will listen to their expertise on these mods, but when there's an option on how or what to do, I need to know what I want) and need you guys to help with this. 1. The biggest question (and I know the search nazi's have been held at bay lately by the mods, please don't let them start now, I've searched an read untill my eyes bled!!!) is do I need to do any fuel upgrades? MAF, BAP or better fuel pump or injectors??? 2. Should I change my plugs to another brand/style or heat range? Current plug in sig. Should my gap be the same (It's already very tight at .028 from what I've heard, but motor is putting down what I think are GREAT numbers for current mods). 3. I am going to start with the 100 shot nitrous and corresponding fuel jet, if that helps with the above questions. 4. Should I invest in a fuel pressure safty switch? 5. What will I get (besides better throttle response and GREAT BLUE ANODIZED COBRA ENGRAVED BLING FACTOR) from the new BilletFlow throttle body? Are there HP increase to be had with this? 6. Current timing is 23*. How much should be pulled, if any? 7. Bogart 28" slicks. Do I need taller gears? Or I leave the stock 3:55's? 8. I am confused about what to do with the tune. Right now I have a snyper flash to the cars computer. Do I need to spend more money and buy a multi tune hand held? Or do I just need to dyno it, check A/F and timing are okay and leave it? How much of an advantage is it to have a hand held with a street tune, strip& nitrous tune (and if I buy a hand held a valet tune to stop assholes from playing with MY toy!!!) I have been told by my tuner that in his experience a flash to the cars computer for some reason seems to work better then the same exact tune running off a Diablo or SCT unit. I don't know if this is true yet, but hope to not have to buy a hand held and find out it is true. They do say I should have multi tunes for a car with a wet nitrous set up. 9. Last (I know, thank god) do I need to do anything else, parts or tune wise, for this NOS kit, throttlebody, poted plenum deal to all work together properly.
