What order do you go in?

[DeusEx]

I am just starting to upgrade my 92 RS for performance, and was wondering what order you guys do things in, i can only go as far as the paycheck permits each week, so things need to be done in shifts, was wondering what you guys usualy get first, to last.. i was thinking about the hedders first, but im not even sure if they are necessary or going to increase what they say they do.. want to get my moneys worth for the first few things..
How do you guys do things..

headers DO make a difference.

You're dealing with design that is starved for incoming air and resitrciting exhaust.

Next up would be to cool that puppy down, GM set em to run hot. So a lower/adjustable fan switch and 180 stat (depending on where you live) will get you there. And also depending on where you live you can bypass the the throttle body cooling lines to keep incoming air cooler as well. This stops power from falling aff a bit when things get warmer from running.

Then up with shift kit and larger rear end gear and you'll be happy without spending a fortune and each step can be done each weekend for you to enjoy til the next check

So buy a chip that works with a stat first,(Hypertech) Plus I thought exhaust was headers?

drivetrain first, having done a buch of my mods thus far i would suggest doing the transmission first, suspension second, and power last.

hehehehe this is funny. Hey... do everything! (jkg)

Seriously.. I'd go with Korndaog and Wright on this one if your looking to keep it reasonably price. Drivetrain upgrades aren't cheap, unless you can do them yourself.

or can network like a motherfucker

my race spec 700R4 cost less than 700 bucks, and i didnt turn a single wrench on it, cept to take it out and put it back in.

You sly dog you. I'd like to network your ass up here to do my piston rings (that didn't sound so good) and valve lash.
