Long term build advice needed

[TheTeacher]

I am trying to figure out what performance mods I should start slowing adding, before I put on the super charger. I plan on going with an intercooled roots or centri with a target of about 475hp - with the hope of using mostly stock internals.

I currently have JLT CAI, SCT 93 performance tune from AM, 3.73 gears, and Vogtland lowering springs.

I would like to spend a few hundred per month till its paid off so want to buy only things that are useful now, and will work well with the supercharger.

I will probably due a MGW short throw shifter then after that I don't know what to do. I read up on Exhaust and don't really know what will work best both now and after S/Cing. So I would do longtubes next, but don't want to buy the wrong ones, etc. (I don't care about how it sounds really, just want good performance --- Ulimate plan is a sleeper)

So I don't want to waste money on UDP and Delete plates, if the SC will make them pointless.

Any advice on parts, and build order, would be greatly appreciated.
I am willing to upgrade things like a clutch/flywheel even if I don't technically need it at 475ish hp. Provided its in the $200-$400 range.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Get the longtubes, threre are numerous threads on brands.

Also delet plates are a must imho, and if you go centri u will want to get them for sure.

correct about the pullies...and the delete plates depend on if you go PD blower or centrifugal...if the latter, get the plates.
as for PD or centri, thats purely a personal choice. i prefer centri, so thats what id recommend...and like Lightblade said, if you do that, get delete plates (PD will delete them when the intake comes off).

MAC, BBK and Pypes make good longtubes for a reasonable price.

so, once you have your exhaust taken care of id say thats about it...a full exhaust with an intercooled blower should get you to your goal. good luck.

as soon as i get my house and have a garage to work in in a couple of weeks, i'm pretty sure i'm going to be pulling my ARH longtubes and offroad x pipe setup off and putting it up for sale. i'll keep you posted if you're interested.

Yea keep me posted, I am still trying to educate myself and have read good things about the ARH so far.

Will an O/R pass an emissions test? I am thinking I probably want catted midpipes. Its my DD.

I also might blow my summer money on new stripes but if not going with longtubes for sure.

An offroad X won't pass emissions. Your better off going with a catted midpipe.

One piece drive shaft with safety loop, LCA (with relocation bracket) & UCA make a big difference. I concur that you can't go wrong with good jet-coated LTs.
