THE DILEMMA
I'm faced with a HUGE dilemma, which way do i go with my first round of mods? I can do 180mm, H/E with mezierre pump, klees, and TTM fuel rail/injectors. Or I can do 180mm, H/E with mezierre pump, and the TTM/ARH Long tubes. What a fawkin choice. Which way should I go? Advice needed!!!

Safety is a good way to start... do long tubes etc later fuel rail/injectors is good bet. And more importantly than anything, dont forget the TUNE! Eurocharged and OE both offer that.

While I'd personally skip the fuel rail, I would definitely get injectors due to the fact that on my car running the larger pulley automatically made my injectors static from 5500rpm to 6500rpm when is a big deal.

70rwhp/50rwtq should be attainable with longtubes and a tune. That should be good for mid 11s. AWOL hit 11.5 at 121.5mph with this setup, except he only had aftermarket shorty's.

Yep totally agree - hit 11.7 on street tires with Klee's and a box tune (stock pulley, stock heat exchanger). . .I think it depends on how you drive - if you anticipate doing full load high triple digit runs all the time - fuel rail. . . if it's an occasional blast - I personally would save it for later.

2) search for TTM fuel rail and the thread with the specs and benefits will come up
3) 168, 172, 178, 180, 190 all refer to pulley sizes -TB's are usually 80 and 82
4) Don't know about the throttle bodies but call Bruce at TTM and he'll walk you through all the options and where to source them
5) it can - but the front bumper has to come off - search the DIY's - Shardul had a great write up on how to do it!!!!!

Id do:
1) Pump and H/E
2) Headers and tune
3) Pulley
4) TB
With those mods that should net you about 100 rwph or so.. The car stock has cooling issues, so tackling the cooling first would be your best bet..

Here's why, driveability. The rails/injectors with tune made a dramatic difference for me. Now, most of the aftermarket parts listed are only going to shine when you are stomping on it. Not so, with the rails/injectors, everything is better. From dropping the kids off at school to brushing off some Shelby Cobra, the benefit are continually experienced. I was impressed enough to write a quick thread about them.

Don't take me for some grandpa either. My E ran 11.1 @126 last year, and I feel it is even quicker today!
