Default what do you think

I'm upgrading my set up. So far I have 1st gen b16 and everything is stock. Just intake headers and exhaust. I plan on getting a walbro high proformance fuel pump 225 liter, fuel regulator, msd distributor cap with a blaster ss coil. Do you think this is a good set up.

The extra fuel and spark isn't going to do much for you without lots and lots of extra air. They're good accessories to build a highstrung NA engine or turbo'd beast. It will probably feel a little more spry, but won't net you anything impressive by themselves. :thumbup:

save your $$ on the fuel pump, blaster coil, and dist. cap and get a set of cam gears. Get the FPR its a great tool when tuning your car, and you will get good amounts of HP from the cam gears.

For now, get an A'PEXi V-AFC and take the car to a dyno. Just tuning the thing will probably yield an additional 5-10 whp.

From there the options are pretty extensive. A common path is to get some cams (skunk Stage 1 is the way to go with a B16), freshen up the valvetrain and some adjustable cam gears, then toss her on the ole dyno for some more dialing in of everything.

The stock fuel and ignition systems are fine. Next step after cams would be an ITR intake manifold and throttle. And you guessed it, more dyno time.
