Boost / pyro / Fuel pressure
Stage 2
Fueling boxes
stage 3
injectors
stage 4
turbo's / exhaust / intakes
what do you guys think of course list different vendors and such and where to get the parts from our sponsors?

Re:Stage tuning guide for noobies
People will disagree on the order of things.
But I do believe most everyone will agree gauges is #1.
You left out transmission/clutch upgrades, and personally I would do it in a slightly different order. Good idea tho.

Jamie,
That's a great idea! I am done with stage 1. Now....Where do I go about getting a box for my '97 12V? I've been looking all over for them! ;D
Naw, but a thread dedicated to how people progressed through their mods might be a good idea in each specific generation board. I might start one in the 2nd Gen or the 12V boards.
Then let the arguments begin!

Re:Stage tuning guide for noobies
Whiff, you can't get a "box" for your 97, as it is a 12 valve, mechanically controled engine, unlike the 24 valvers which are computer controlled. Those of us who have properly valved ;D engines can mess with the computer with the fueling/boost boxes but you undervalved guys can't. You have to resort to other means.
I have an article posted on another site that was written by Ted Jennatty (Jennatty Racing Enterprises) that addresses the upgrading order for CTD engines. If you would like, I can e-mail it to anyone who would like it, or I can send it to an administrator here to be posted in the tech facts section (if that is legal, coming from another site)

Re:Stage tuning guide for noobies
Thanks, DPG.
Unfortunately, my sarcasm didn't come across clearly enough! I know Ihave a properly valved engine and was making a point to some overvalvers (no offense intended, it's not like I'm calling anyone a whiner...) that to say a box is the 2nd step is really not too correct if you have a 12V engine!
Hope that clears it up!
So my order of mods would be this:
1. GAUGES
2. New plate (nothing too big, since I'm not looking for more than 300-350 horses)
3. Intake (Scotty II, cuz it sucks.)
4. Exhaust
5. Anything else my wife will let me buy!

If you get through #4, I think you'd be doing real well. 'Course, you are not married to MY wife!! ;D

Sees the possible value of keeping a copy of this one ;D
It isn't blackmail, the word is extortion

*Not so fast,,,,, :
So my order of mods would be this:
1. GAUGES
*When you buy them,,,,,, they come packed in a box!
2. New plate (nothing too big, since I'm not looking for more than 300-350 horses)
*When you order it,,,,,,, it comes shipped in a box
3. Intake (Scotty II, cuz it sucks.)
*Intake = Airbox,,,,,,,,,, and Scotty will send you one in a box!
4. Exhaust
*,,,,,,,, OK,,,,,,,,,, Ya got me there,,,,,,
5. Anything else my wife will let me buy!
*Once the wife finds out how much you have spent already,,,,,,,,,,, You'll be lucky to be buried in a pine box!
So see,,,,,,,,,, somewhere along the line,,,,,,,,,, you undervalvers are going to have to buy a box. ;D Even if it's the last thing you will do!
Now DeWain,,,,,, about that blackmail thing,,,,,,,,,,, 8)
For a price,,,,,,,,,, I can put in a good word for ya with Mrs.DPG,,,,,,,,, : I could even tell her that I was just playing a little joke on you by using my Admin powers and you really didn't type that.
Course,,,,,, that depends on how much Top will split with me!

Rattlin Ram,
Thanks for the perspective.
All:
I stand corrected. I will be getting several boxes for my 12V soon. ;D ;D
Not sure about the pine box yet...
