Upgrades

I bought my car 3 weeks ago (all stock 97 gsx) and so far I have put these parts on it...
intake and k and n filter
1g bov
air/fuel gauge
boost gauge

I am planning on doing the catback next month...

Any ideas on cheap/safe mods I could do in the meantime?
Also, what route should I take after these in upgrading?
Thanks

RE: Upgrades

What kind of a/t gauge do you have? One that displays actual numbers or stupid LED lights?

RE: Upgrades

the gauges are autometer.
they might be lights... the a/f gauge is still being shipped to me.
i think it is one of the ones that lights up, whats wrong with that?

Read it, study it, learn it, then do it.

Send the a/f gauge back, i bet $1000 it's not a wideband.

RE: Upgrades

Nope its not...

Well that gauge only reads "Rich, OK, and Lean. It doesnt display any real values. This is called a narrowband.

A wideband displays actual numbers.
