what to do before buying a S/C?

feegeebloo · 05-11-2008, 08:16 PM

i've decided that i want to go the S/C route with the si, and i'm curious as to what supporting mods go best... i realize that until kpro or another management system is available, i won't be getting the best returns, but i'll just have to bide my time...

i've got a skunk2 70mm catback right now, and i'm trying to carefully plan out the rest... gimme what you've got!

you can get an CAI or SRI to work on the intake half of your build. and a race header.

i haven't found anything through search on whether sri or cai is better with a s/c setup...

i guess it seems like the regular ole bolt ons are what everyone does prior to a s/c build... are upgraded internals recommended if i want to shoot for 300whp?

The differences between the SRI and CAI are negligible with the S/C.

you could go with the SRI just for ease of installation.

internals can easily handle 300whp. type S people have ran over 300whp easily on stock internals.. cant say much for the clutch though.

you wont achieve 300whp with the reflash, after a tune with any EMS then your able to achieve 300whp and more with supporting mods.
