mod suggestions


I'm fairly new with car modifications and I'm gonna start working on my 89 LX 5.0 hatch soon. Its pretty close to stock at the moment(only a Cobra lower and upper intake, and an E303 cam has been added along with some suspension work)
These are the parts I was thinking of changing first:
BBK 1-5/8" long tube headers
BBK 2.5" X-pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust
BBK cold air intake
190 LPH fuel pump
24 lbs/hour fuel injectors
Edelbrock 70mm Throttle body
X303 cam

This is probably just a start and was hoping for some thoughts and suggestions.

With all those mods to the air induction + injectors, you need to get a big MAF sensor. Also, that X303 is huge. I doubt going from E303 -> X303 would net you any real horsepower with stock heads.

Give it 5 seconds and someone will show up and tell you to get Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads.

As long as you're putting a long list together, don't forget underdrive pullies.

Sell the cobra upper and lower, get the trickflow top end kit, it includes a trickflow cam and it is pretty good.
