    NX kit install -- anything to look out for?

    Aside from connecting everything with red locktite and following NX's instructions, is there anything in particular I need to keep an eye on?

    I finally bought a WOT switch, so I should (hopefully) be installing the kit within a month..running a 35 shot (wet).

    Heh..yeah, it's slowly coming along. My Falken tires should be here this week..NX installed whenever I get to it..

    I'm thinking about cams and eManage now -- my current track time is with crappy tires..I'd like a 15.80 with my new ones..what do you think I'd get out of reground cams and a properly tuned eManage?

    i wouldn't cam it if i were you... at least not without some other work done..

    going NA is gonna be expensive, but might be pretty sweet..

    head job, cams, higher comp pistons, bigger injectors/fuel pump, and an Emanage..

    expect 50+ HP i'd imagine.. maybe more

    I'd like to turbo eventually..but that would be the last thing -- I want everything else done first..:

    *have*
    ELP CAI
    2.25" catback
    Fidanza aluminum flywheel
    ACT clutch (heavy duty pressure plate/organic disk)
    NX kit (35 shot)

    *want*
    underdrive pulley (rpmoutlet.com has the ASP pulley..I'll probably pick that up soon)

    valves
    valve springs
    big bore with 8.8:1 compression (more torque than 1.8l, even with low compression..so it'll still help a little before the turbo -- at least according to MWR)
    injectors
    fuel pump
    eManage

    Someone will give me a set of cams for 20 bucks, so I can hang onto them until I need them..

    What I don't know, though -- could I have the cams done to be beneficial with a turbo, but also for n/a -- ie they'd help now, but even more when/if I'm boosted?

    N/A would be fun, but I could get much more power from a turbo..
