kb351 Donating Members 80 Member For: 17y 7m 28d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/01/16 08:12 AM Share Posted 18/01/16 08:12 AM I'm in the process of collecting gear for my FG ute prior to tuning and so far have PW Stage 1 Intercooler kit, Herrod Air Box, Crow Valve springs and Venom Cat Pipe. Wanting to keep std exhaust for now.I'm hoping to get to about 300rwkw.When should I get the valve springs done, along with the rest of the gear, all at once when I first get the car tuned, or is it a waste of time at this power level and I should just hold off on the valve springs and only get them done if there is problems later on if I have drama's or if I am chasing more power later on...Also do the better valve springs allow the tuner to chase more power so get them done first up anyway?

Late reply from me, didn't expect such a quick response.I'll let my tuner know the springs are there if he needs to use them. Maybe this approach will save some $ as well...I can't make my mind on exhaust so that's next on list.I had a dual manta 3" on my last car but hated how noisy it was so am still enjoying a quieter car for now.
