Things to come for my d17a2

After reading and doing alot of searching on the forums, I've decided on my build of my motor. I know from my research that d17's suck but here is my plan.....

1. Stage 1 crower
2. VAFC prob an apexi neo
3. SRI
4. Megan Header
5. Hi-Flow Cat
6. Exhaust of my choice
7. Underdrive Crank Pulley


I would like some recomendations on maybe some better products that fall into those general lines and I am working with a budget here so try to keep that in mine

I will post pics of everything for your veiwing pleasures....

+1 hahaha

There are a few other things you can do to get power from a d17 without much difficulty, but without getting kpro I wouldn't recommend them. Your current plans sounds really good for a budget build.

Re: Things to come for my d17a2

You should use some high comp pistons too. The GX has 12.5:1 compression pistons, really high because Natural gas needs high compression to run, they are the same specs are 9.5:1 and 9.9:1 pistons. You should drop 12.5:1 GX pistons in there. They are only $30 each (brand New + you have to get rings and other stuff).
