Default So what mod should be next? Intake, Exhaust or Heads???

With the LQ9 going in next weekend, i am starting to figure out what will be next.... I am getting a performabuilt tranny at the end of the month so the tranny is taken care of... Since these are not cheap mods they will have to be done seperately, i will do a cam swap at the end to tie everything together...

These are the choices...

1. New FAST LSXrt intake
2. 1 7/8 headers and build new exhaust
3. Some PRC heads?

exhaust.

The other mods are optional but the exhaust is mandatory either way.

I say exhaust first then a TVS, you already have the cam for it, and heads dont do nearly as much for blown motors and you wont need to spend a bunch of money on an intake. For what you would have tied up in a FAST 102 setup and good heads you can damn near buy a TVS and the TVS will have better street manners and more power.

Wait till I finally get my blower on then you can drive it and see, the tq they make is awesome

I guess the mild dd has went out the window...

but out of those choices heads are going to make the biggest difference performance wise, then intake, bigger headers.
