Hi guys. Want to know your opinions. I have $2000 for mods this year. This is for parts only. I already have JRE's 75rwhp kit. I want mods that do not require a tune. I'm thinking of getting the Big Gulp,ww relocation, catch can, and super chiller. Keep in mind that I'm looking to do brake and suspension mods next year. Thanks.

You're pushing the limit for no tune with the JRE package. Maybe heat exchanger or super chiller??? Not sure what the parts cost is for super chiller. Or, a no tune upgrade could be factory amp replacement...no tune required!

Also I'm looking to do big HP mods the year after. Ported blower, TB, cam, valve springs, upper pulley, long tube headers, HP cats, and tune.

Bigger heat exchanger is not going to hurt your effort, it will help you now and after you do the other mods. Need to keep that blower cool so it's as effecient as possible, heat kills a PD supercharger

That is why I'm planning the super chiller. I'm thinking it is better than a heat exchanger cause it uses the factory cooling block right in the supercharger. Am I thinking right with this?

MA2010SS · 01-29-2013, 06:55 PM

That will work also, but the more coolant that you have in the system the effect would be greater and last longer. Keep'er cool no matter which way you do it

I'm thinking stereo will be after the engine and suspension mods are done. Seriously thinking of a roll bar/cage with rear seat delete in a few years. Love a large stereo system in it's place. Not many times that I have somebody in the rear seat.

I'm going to look into that. Thanks.

Well there goes that warranty right away.

firecross91 · 01-29-2013, 10:19 PM

Maybe a better idea would be to buy parts and wait a couple years? That could be a good idea. I don't think any of the parts would be affected by being in storage.

Skylane765 · 01-29-2013, 10:52 PM

JRE is the way to go with the no tune, if you want to keep the warranty.

MarylandSpeed · 01-30-2013, 06:49 AM

Kooks headers and green cats. No tune needed, and 20+ HP.

ace32x · 01-30-2013, 10:40 AM

headers with catless pipes, heat exchanger and tune.
