Performance Mod List, Order of operations for performance Options

[jcbass7]

Now i know this will differ from car to car, person to person, but i found this list in one of my magazines. There are two lists one for NA cars and one for Turbo'ed cars. They are basically lists of performances upgrades and the order you should do them in. (but they do state its different for every car)

Here they are:

3. Performance Header
4. Grounding Kit
5. Cat-Bypass/Test Pipe
6. Underdrive Accessory Pulleys
7. Performance Intake Manifold
8. Larger Throttle Body
9. Higher Lift/ Longer Duration Camshafts
10. Adjustable Cam Gears
11. Fuel/ VTEC Controller (we don't have vtec)
12. Performance Spark Plugs
13. Ignition System Upgrade
14. Lightened Flywheel
15. Performance Clucth
16. High Compression Pistons

What do you guys think of that? might be a good tech article, IF we tweak it to fit the engines we run. 5sfe, 5sfte, 3sgte, etc. etc.

Just thought it might be interesting, if anyone has input on how we could change it to fit something like the popular 3sgte swap that would be cool.
