I am wondering what to do to my car. I want it to be an everyday driver and to be quick...

So far here is my list:

Stillen intake
Eibach Springs
KYB Shocks
Dynamic Racing front and rear stabalizers
Stillen Brake kit
HKS blow off valve
HKS Dragger exhaust
RC 550cc injectors
Apex'i AVC-R
Denso high output fuel pump
Centerforce clutch

Any other suggestions??

Hmmm. Unless your running more boost on stock twins I don't se why you need injectors or fuel pump, unless the stealth experiences some sever fuel cut in higher revs.

A turbo upgrade and an intercooler upgrade would be nice.

Or you could up the boost for a bit more fun.

I've heard of one problem on the centerforce which MAY only be 944 specific. If it wasn't balanced properly, the thing shatters, wrecks the crank, and flywheel, and lots of other crap. As long as you're careful with the install it should be fine though.

I didn't go with centerforce just in case this problem affected me, so I ended up with a strong pressure plate and huge pedal effort.

Upgrading the exhaust on a twin turbo would have many benifits..

Downpipe, high-flow cat, cat-back system, muffler upgrade..

I read in Import Tuner a guy cut his cat out of his 96 mitsubishi

eclipse, and got 30 hp at the wheel's , imagine on a twin

turbo...:D

I'm with Redline. Centerforce is not your friend.

I am actually not running a cat converter at all and that made a big difference..

Well for certain cars Centerforce is junk... and for AWD DSMs they are total crap.

In my SC GSR it lasted two months :thumbsdow

Yeah, I've heard mostly bad things about CF from DSMers...

Stealth, I would definately go with the exhaust and crank the boost a bit on the 'twins'. :D Are you a member of 3si.org? :)
