Default What should i do next?

Okay i guess this is for people like Mike (emonz57) who kinda know my car.

My question is mainly what should i do next?
I have the following intsalled:

Turbo xs cat-back
dejon tool intake pipe and filter
weapon r lower and upper i/c piping
NGK irdium BR8IEX plugs
torque dampener
forge rec. bov
perrin light weight crank pulley
ams mini race battery
walbro 255lph fuel pump.

DC sport 2in1 DP on its way. After that should I go for a tune. my car already has the basic air fuel tune and boost cut gone . As far as i can tell stock speed limitor is there and rev limitor too. Clutch is stock , but thats in question cause it grabs like an aftermarket clutch. I really wanna do a set of gsc stage 1 cams. I have no gauges yet to ie air fuel and boost. here is what i was thinking of doing next.

aem wideband air fuel gauge
boost gauge
MBC
dyno tune
crower or gsc 1 cams
o2 housing

Those are some good mods you have planned. Thats what I would have recomended.

What are you using as a tuning device?

Nothing. I bought the car used and from my air/fuel graph on my stock dyno run. mike and others say the previous owner must of had an air/fuel flash done. I've been told to stay away from tuning devices , but i have looked at s-afc and cobb access port.

If you fuel cut is removed already you have 2 routes to go here. Get an SAFC and wideband and tune yourself for every mod you get. Or get a flash after all the mods.

I personally say get the 02 houseing, cams and gauges then get a flash. If your talking distant future you might wanna tune sooner because all your mods now will make a difference to your AFRs and timing and youll be losing small amounts of power without retuneing the car. After this stuff id say get a clutch and start preping for a nice FP EvoGREEN upgrade.

Honestly I think you can tune with the SAFC yourself... but I agree with mike

well I dont condone it. I have an SAFC so I know what they are all about. they suck for tuning. Yea he can tune his AFRs but not his timing which is important. I recommend just flashing the ECU again instead but that is just me

I'm in agreement with Emonz, get the O2 housing, cams, and gauges before getting your FLASH.

Thanks guys. Ya i'm going to go with the fp o2 housing , fp turbo manifold , gsc s1 cams , aem wide band , boost and egt and MBC . Then go down and get it dyno tuned . more then likely will go to dent or swiftmotor sports for the tune. i've talked to both , but undecided still on who to go too.
