Posted similar stuff on two other forums looking for opinions, this is my last stop....saving the best for last?
Here's the short version...I wanted some suspension and HP upgrades and cannot afford to get a SC+Forged internals right now (won't get blown until I can afford them pistons and rods). I've been in Iraq nearly a year, so my itch needs to get scratched when I get home.
Needless to say, I got the following getting installed in Oct (when I finally get home) by a shop with a good rep in Memphis TN (Dynospeed Racing):
Steeda Panhard brace and bar
adj Rear LCA
Steeda lowering springs (the tech there recommended them over the Eibachs I originally requested and they were a smidge cheaper to boot)
swapping to 3.73 gears
JBA LTH's
JBA Xpipe with cats
Magnaflow Catbacks
Steeda engine mounts (due to LTH's not quite fitting "as is" motor has to move .25")
O2 Extension Harness
Steeda UDP
C&L CAI
SCT2
Custom tuning/dyno run.
So my questions are....
Am I missing anything completely, critical to the initial equation here?
Am I wasting my time with the UDP's or can I expect 10hp freed up after the tune? I've heard 2-4hp, I've heard 10hp. I'm looking for a consensus.
Tech estimated a rwhp of around 315 with a middle-aggressiveness tune at 93octane. (not going super aggressive, not wanting a Spanish Oak conservative style either).
Thoughts? Help? Glaring oversights on my part? It's alot to be done in one shot, so I want to ensure I'm not flubbing it up, lol.
