Locky28 Member 59 Member For: 17y 4d Gender: Male Location: Rockhampton Posted 15/05/08 01:43 AM Share Posted 15/05/08 01:43 AM Hi all,I'm looking to eventually get some more grunt out of my T so I want to kind of get an idea of what I'll need. I don't want to go crazy with the power, probably just 270-280 so that I can have a firm win over some of the newer V8's at stock Heres all I think I'll need to get those figures.Bosh 968 InjectorsFlash Tuner (Custom Tune)A cheap I/C (probably a $300 Monza/Wog one) to keep temps down a bit.From what I've read on the forums so far that's all I think I'll need. My understanding is that Valve springs aren't need till you start pushing higher than 270rwkw, same with Cat am I right?Just looking for advice on anything else that I will/won't need, specs in my sig.Much appreciated, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monza cooler should be ok, but maybe look at saving a bit more for a really good quality one - Plazmaman, Process West, Rapid etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard springs may hold the boost for a little while, but I would say they will get soft after a few months. The upgraded valve springs make a difference on stock cars, so they are a worthwhile upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just free's up a real bad restriction in the factory pipework. Can buy them new for around $125 from RAPID, Process West or Plazmaman (All site sponsors). This will benefit with the wog cooler & for very little cost will make the cooling system more efficient.Valve Springs and Cat are probably not an absolute must if working to a stringent budget but would be very worthwhile for reliability & less pressure on standard internals.
