Thread: best first mods to do

Best upgrade on a starting stock build for the track is better TIRES!!!! Well there are other things you can do, but tires will get you off the line faster and really help out. The stock Goodyears arent very good in the traction depertment or on 20mph kicks with a few bolt-ons so better tires are a very good upgrade right off the bat. Exhaust is a good start also, getting rid of the restrictive stock downpipe really helps chop down KR. One thing you should really do before anything else is make sure the engine is sound. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks, commonly found from bad lower intake gaskets, bad supercharger and throttle body gaskets. Replace the fuel filter if history is unknown, check ignition wires and coil terminals for the wires so they arent corroded. Colder spark plugs are definately a good idea, especially if you are dropping pulley size. A good tune will really help you out as well. Higher shift points and firmer shift settings are good for a few tenths off your time at the track.
