Getting paid Friday and I'll have ~$275-300 to work with. Here's what I plan on ordering:

Thunder Racing's Taylor OTVC Kit -- $100
NGK TR55's -- $15-20
LT4 KM -- $30
TB Airfoil -- $20 (From a board member)
K&N Air Filter -- $50 (Already have other CAI parts, just need filter)
160º Thermostat

Any other minor mods I should look into? Already have TB Bypass, AL D/S, Pro 5.0, Hooker catback.

 

Will the OTVC kit work with factory exhaust manifolds? I recently put the kit on when I installed my JetHots and I don't know if there is clearance to keep from burning your wires (with factory manifolds). You may run into some issues but I am not sure. Maybe someone else will chime in......

Another NC person...WOOHOO!!!!

 

I'd take that $300, save it for another month, and get some Jet Hot Long tubes or the Long-tube of your choice.

 

Yeah those headers sound way better, yet I do like the OTVC wire set he mentioned a lot!

 

If you're not having problems with your current wires, leave them alone. Use the money for something else. The plugs are a good choice. Make sure to regap them to "0.050 when you get them.

The other things look good.

I guess you could also say..if your not having any problems with your exhaust manifold...don't mess with that either!

Don't mind me..i like to argue!

 

You already said just there what the problem was.

 

How would I be able to tell if I'm having trouble with my wires? If they're just old and worn out, how would I tell? Thanks for the gapping info on the plugs though.

HEADERS:
In 3wks when I get paid again, it should be around $500. With that, I'm ordering a set of MAC Mids/Y-pipe for $493 shipped. No LT's for a few reasons:
-Ground clearance
-Money
-Emissions (want to stay 100% street legal)

Mids should be plenty for me too.

 

If you have access to a factory service manual for your car, you may find a resistance rating for the spark plug wires, (such as 1000 - 4000 ohms per foot). If you know how to use an ohm meter, you can measure the plug wires resistance from end to end and see if they are within specifications.
