i got my GSR w/ AEM CAI, HKS Hiper Exhaust, MSD Dist. Cap, MSD Spark Plug Wires, Denso Spark Plugs, spoon flywheel, exedy stage 1 clutch.
i ran a 9.8 with intake, exhaust, spark plugs, w/ a slipping OEM clutch.
after i installed my spoon flywheel, exedy clutch, ingition stuff, my car felt a lot faster, but i think i need a little more bolt ons just so i can beat this WRX.
im thinking of a Skunk2 Single Stage Intake Manifold, DC 4-1 Headers, test pipe. what do you guys think i would be running with all of this in my car?
what else could i get for a rather cheap price, pulleys, just let me kno what you guys put on ur car n loved it?
does anyone have an dyno proven DC headers for their cars? or how about skunk2 intake manifold? thanks
This race is taking place on the track, correct ?
Good.
First question, have you drag raced on the new setup (flywheel, clutch and ignition)? If not, I'd run it and see how much time you've shaved.
Aftermarket VTEC cams will certainly help the upper and midrange. And the exhaust header is certainly worth it. I kinda doubt you're spending enough time above 8K to justify the intake manifold.
One thing is clear: you'll need to nail the launch, because your WRX-driving friend will have a significant advantage. So launch rpm, staging depth and tire pressure will all be critical.
Race safe and good luck!
