First Mods/Maintaince

[Dr.Evil]

I am hopefully picking up a 92 Ty this weekend with 104K. A new trans was installed about 20K ago. I am just wondering what should the first I do to it? It will most likley need a some sort of tune up (ignition at least). My goal with it is a daily driver thats will pull low 13's at the track. The truck comes with, but not installed, v9 Ultimate Chip, 3 Bar MAP, high-flow fuel pump, and a FPR. The hard I/C lines have been replaced with hose and a I/C pump on/off switch installed.

A list of mods/maintaince required to get me to my goal would be awesome. I will have around 3K to spend on upgrades.

This is what I come up with so far, please add or delete as necessary:

Ultimate Chip
High-flow fuel pump
FPR
3 Bar MAP
ATR Catback
50# injectors
Some sort of CAI
Replace cap, rotor, wires and plugs
Replace all fluids
Nice sticky tires

What else?

Thanks!

Re: First Mods/Maintaince

What it came with and tuning, it should run low 13's in a Ty.
Get a scan tool, replace the vacuum lines (if not already done so), K&N and scan/tune away. If the tires are decent they should work unless they aren't performance oriented.

50lb injector would be for 11's maybe really low 12's in Ty. Cold Air I am sure helps but its a a lot of effort to do in SyTy (diminishing returns for $ spent) and requires moving the battery elsewhere.

If you going to do boosted launches (which every does) be prepared to eventually do motor mounts and a front propshaft. I would invest in a tranny cooler and save your money for any unexpected repairs.

Thanks for the tips. A trans cooler will be one of my first add-on's. Im not sure what a scan tool is...I will research it tonight.

Scan tool = laptop usually with Datamaster.
