[QUOTE="boosted2000si, post: 5524989, member: 38988"] 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??? Yes you will need fuel. I like the modified FPDM and gt pump with the delete 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). Im going to run the TR6's with the same up you are going to run, and Im actually going more spray, so I would say the TR6's will work fine. A fresh set will be good though. 4. Should I invest in a fuel pressure safty switch? YES, safe is better! However you should also have a wideband & window switch in your car if your going to spray like that and you can run the AUX out put off the wideband to the window switch so it will shut the pray down if it leans out too much. So either way you go you want a safety measure. I am going both! 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? I think the BF TB will be a single blade, and if thats the case you will need a plentum. More flow = power. Maybe not a ton, but its still helps out. I would say with the TB & Plen. you should see 8-10 hp. Dont hold me to that, but I think thats roughly what I made off mine. 6. Current timing is 23*. How much should be pulled, if any? Your tuner should know what to do, if not find another tuner. 7. Bogart 28" slicks. Do I need taller gears? Or I leave the stock 3:55's? Couldnt help you there man, sorry 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.

I love my XCAL2, the data logging is awesome!! 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. Also, with the 28" tires, is there anything to do to the tune (or anything else) to get this whole set up runing right? Sounds like you have it under control, I hear the nitrous will react better on a ported blower so you may want to keep that in mind. I am sure that I will probably (very shortly) need a new clutch to handle everything. At that point I'll do a cooling mod and get a 31 spline input shaft, as well as the upgraded TOB and flywheel, but even there I am unsure which way to go. Any suggestions, from people running these parts, or tuners/installers that can help, I am all ears!!! I run the stock spline with aftermarket flywheel and clutch. Works like a champ. Clutchmasters Light flywheel and ironman clutch kit. Good Luck, Post up all the results/pics/videos/slips. :beer: :beer: [/QUOTE]
