  • what next?

    ok guys so heres that favorite question everyone asks....what should i do next to my car. first off what i have......2001 red 3.8 m5 with 50k. i already have: whipser lid, free ram air mod, drilled 180* thermostat, short shifter, tps rumbler cat back, blk "hockey stick" graphic down the side, clear corners,window tint (20% on the sides, 5% on front and back), and the front grill removed with holes smoothed over.

    now here in about 3 weeks im getting about 450 bucks that i plan on just blowing on my car. the way i see it i have two options, apperance or performance. the last few things i have done have been all apperance, so im kinda leaning more toward performance. along those lines all i can come up with is either the harrisspeedworks nitrous kit (which i would convert to a push button set up since i had this once before and deffently liked it). doing that would kinda take out the need for the rpm window switch which helps reduce cost. other then that their is rockers, which i hear is not a great help for n/a cars. or a cam, most likely a gt1, unfortunatley this is prolly outta my budget range.

    now on the other hand i could stick with appearnace, i was thinking some blk wheels or maybe even a hood.

    ok so what do u think guys, if it were you what would u do. also if anyone has any of the above mentioned goods let me know, i would deffently be intersted. thanks in advance, forrest

    Before I'd spend any money on Nitrous, I'd get a high flow converter and headers.

    This is how I'd suggest:
    Headers, High Flow Converter, Tires, SFC's, Bilsteins, ...THEN Nitrous. Get the car stiffened up and breathing right first, then do your heavy engine mods.

      nah no need for hiflo conv. and headers. I don't have them on my car and I have nitrous. Also with tubular manifolds, there is no need for headers because there isn't much gain there.

        yea i was going to mention the tublular manifolds but 97rs4life beat me to it, didnt think headers would be much over them, i have thought of deleting the cat since i live in alabama and have no emmissions rules. as for tires i failed to mention i have new falkens. new shocks and springs would prolly be a good idea though.

            walbro fuel pump, NGK TR6 plugs, catback exhaust, intake, stuff like that. You can run a 75 shot wet without upgrading the fuel pump. I currently have 100 shot jets in so I went with a bigger pump to make sure I had the fuel
