So, I almost done with the tuning guide. I've got : Intake, 3" Exhaust, 3" Downpipe, Full IC piping, FMIC, AFC2, Type S BOV, Walbro 190, Upgraded clutch, boost controller, guages, 16g, and getting some 660s in a week. So this is my question, what would you guys recommend as 2 next mods? I'm coming up on 500 in couple weeks and want to dump it into the DSM. Help please. Thanks.
 
I would start working on the traction issues. Get some stiff suspension or a LSD. If you want more power get some HKS 264/272 cams.
 
how about a logger and some prothane motor mounts to prevent wheel hop in that GST? wheel hop will get you in that car, really bad. then later on of course upgrade your suspension. i dont think you could sell your SAFC and buy dsm link as the guy above said(assuming you are only coming up with 500 dollars, but later on that would be great), but for now stick with it and get a good logger. maybe also a mitsu metal HG to prevent blowing it...and some ARP head studs. with 500 dollars and some good shopping you should be able to do a mitsu metal HG, arp head studs, prothane motor mounts, and a decent logger.
 
Then I suggest some Tokico Adjustables and motor mounts. Both can be had for $500 or less.
 
hmmm, if your gonna do suspension i would seriously reccomend the KYB/AGX adjustable struts, front and rear, and then i would suggest some eibach pro springs. i have this setup on my car and love it, it is the best setup, period. in my opinion, of course. and then i would for sure do the prothane motor mounts, and save a few bucsk...stick with your SAFC and just get a logger for the time being. DSMlink is awesome, but if cash is your concern as of now, just get a logger and sell it all when you want to step up to DSMlink. this way you would learn the basics of tuning without having a program to map it all out for you.
