Default time for my new talon to get some power

i just bought this the other night and it needs more power.lol
so far it has
-K&N filter , which is not as long as the one that K&N currently sells
-this BOV http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=110&

Now For my Plans.

-CAT BACK http://dsmparts.com/customer/product...&cat=91&page=1

-INTAKE http://dsmparts.com/customer/product...&cat=84&page=1

-MBC AND GAUGE http://dsmparts.com/customer/product...&cat=10&page=1
http://dsmparts.com/customer/product...&cat=70&page=1

-CLUTCH http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=1965&

-FLYWHEEL http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=1227&

Now this is a 7 bolt so i dont want to go to overboard. Would a 16g with injectors, wide band and SAFC II be pushing it? I plan on putting a 6 bolt motor in a few years down the road.

dude...if its stock you should have upgraded the suspension, before getting even more power in an already decently fast car.[&:]

...not to mention its gonna look like youre getting ready to go off-roading....


just my opinion i guess.[8D]

i dont know about those... for that price, since its not an actual picture, it looks like their only adjusting point is for the springs, which defies the point of it being a "coilover".


yes, tein coilovers are the best, but to get the good ones, youll be paying about 1200, which give you the 16 dampening adjustments which are kind of unneccessary. if youre really dead set on getting coilovers, and are trying to save some money, you can get these NEX ones on ebay for about 660 new, shipped. theyre decent, but dont have the dampening adjustments.

If youre gonna get coilovers just make sure that they have the bottom adjuster that will not affect the spring, when adjusted, like this

IMO i dont like coilovers. I dont see the point to ride hieght adjustment. Plus that just means you'll need to get a camber kit. I have always been a fan of the eibach pro kit, KYB AGX combination. For around $500 you can have a nice ride will a good look.

coilovers are for race cars that need the adjustments but regualr people buy them just so the can SLAM the car down.

IMO the suspension is not a huge deal would do at least basic performance mods first then springs shocks and struts
