Hey all! Question time again! So far my list of mods have all produced power that I have felt in the butt dyno for sure! and in the speed tests against a constant medium (2k4 C5 Vette)... *side note* have tested against a buddies over and over and run equal speed till about 80-90mph when the V8 leaves me... but anyways!
Mods...
Crawford Plenium + Strut
JWT Pop
Kinetix Test Pipes
HKS Ti. Dual Ex.
KJR Performance Pulley
Nismo LMGT4 eagle F1's...
And to the newest bunch... I just purchased some TopSpeed Headers that I'll be installing as soon as they get here! I hope to feel the headers at least some difference... but either way im looking for my next purchase!
Is the Emanage or the TS Flash the next best purchase for me? or will it be cams?
I'm looking for a few hints that I can get some funding from my up and coming B-day! So its gonna be between PERFORMANCE! or FLASHY!! lol...
Let me know if you think that the next upgrade in the price range of under $1500 would be REALLY noticeable... or shall I just spend it now on the Do Luck body kit that will be taking a huge penny!!
please let me know if you have the same type of setup and have seen what I should plan on next!
Any help is GREATLY needed!! and I appologize big time to Doug Crawford who parked next to me during the ZdayZ event and for not getting his headers... I feel like a traitor... but I'm still forking over cash for my master's degree this fall and the crawfords were almost 8 credit hours

If you plan on getting cams soon then I would wait on the TS reflash. However you might want the get the reflash now so you can get max gains from all your mods (also a raised RPM limiter and the speed cap taken of
), if you plan to do the cams much later.

Anything that lessens the weight on rotating mass is good. A lightweight flywheel or crank pulley will make a huge difference in acceleration, so I would recommend those. Besides that a set of cams would be nice. I say why look fast when you can be fast. I see so many "hooked up" Zs around here with body kits, wheels, etc etc but are rediculously slow. Do the body kit once the car is finished.

TS reflash sounds like a winning choice right now... anyone know how difficult it is to pull out the ECU?
Has anyone experienced some cam switches yet? I'd like to know how much of a difference it feels like? I've heard of low gains from the ECU

I'm not sure a reflash is something you should be looking at now especially considering you are going to do more upgrades in the future that will make you have to reflash again. You won't see significant gains unless you are running far too lean with your current setup. This is something I would do once all your bolt ons and the cams are dropped in. Also with the increased redline I would recommend upgraded con-rod bolts if you want to rev reliably.
