Well it has come time to do some more upgrades. Right now I am having a big bogging problem. So bad my car ran a 15.16 at 98 mph in the 1/4. I am thinking about these next mods before I get DSMLink.

255 lph
AFPR
SS fuel lines
boost gauge
MBC
gauge cup

After this I would have enough money for a EPROM and by time I get the ECU i will have enough for DSMLink. After that injectores and a RS49T follows. Then a FMIC. Sound decent?
 
Fuel is one of the most important things. Defnitely go 190 or 255 depending on your boosting goals. Forget an AFC if your going to eventually get DSM Link. Don't jump the gun with DSM link. It is a great thing to have, but have some decent mods before your jump the gun with DSM link. Make sure you have stuff to tune before you get the tool for tuning. WTF Makesure you get your boost gauge before the controller or at the same time. Tap your gauge at the correct spot and don't boost more than your car can handle. Also maintnence before modding. If you've got any leaks, creaks, or minor problems, fix them before they turn into disaster as I can gaurentee you that, it's a DSM.

Goodluck!
 
I would say ditch the cat as well (horsepower there).I run a test pipe daily as everyone else does. Boost gauge, 255 (I like the insurance) Fuel pump, MBC, FPR and SAFC to tune with. With this above crank the boost to 14 and should get you high 13s very low 14s with FWD. Keeping the tires on the ground will start to be a problem in first gear.
 
Ok most of yall mis read I said AFPR NOT SAFC. I am getting the 255 because I plan on making big power within the next year and the AFPR will make tuning easier by controlling the unwanting richness. Thanks for the responses and that original list seems to be good. And to the guy that posted last I must run the SS lines to be able to run the AFPR. This would be a great underhood fuel system and should last me forever.
 
SS braided lines means from the tank to the filter to the rail then back to the tank. You only really need this if you are runing 500 HP and mid 10s in the 1/4 and high high boost.
You need the braided lines just as a KIT to install the AFPR its only like 4 feet total. I am not running a AFPR as of right now but I will install it when I get my 680s and all.
 
i trashed my stock fuel lines and i doubt I'm near the 500hp range. All i can say is "Bling Bling" Looks good and is reassuring of a clean healthy setup.
 
These SS lines are only filter to rail then rail to reg to return line. That's all.
