Need help! Don’t know fully what to get.

Hey guys, I appreciate all the responses i have been getting from my previous posts. The s650 community has been often thus far.
My car for context is a 24 PP manual Magnaride.
I wanted to tweak a few things ever so slightly.

This is what I plan to do.
Steeda H-pipe
Steeda high flow filters
Stop the hop starter kit
Sway bears?
Mgw short shifter?
Handling springs? Ford performance/elbach?


I think that is more than enough for quite a bit. Anything else you recommend or take away from the list?

Hmmm, what are your short/long term intentions with the car? Just daily driver car or plans on playing with it, road racing, drag racing, mountain climbing, auto-x?

Daily driving in Mexico
Other than that, the OCCASIONAL I mean rare drag race.
Other than this. Next step is whipple. Hoping for 750-800whp on 93

Then your list minus sway bars and handlings springs will do just fine for the limited playing you mention.

Ok noted! Thanks. Have you done anything to yours?

start with steeda stop the hop starter kit and get the vertical links (make sure to buy the correct links there are shorter links that fit the cars with brembos)

and maybe the H pipe

I won't recommend the filters because they are oiled filters not because they are bad but if you want to get them make sure to know how to clean them and oil them properly or you can buy something like this and save yourself from the oil headache

then see if you want to add more to the car

Ah I see, so the oiled filters are a pain? Did you put any on your car? I see k&n has dry ones

I will say when going with the Whipple, you will loose the "daily driving" due to the amount of power. These cars are more than powerful enough factory to handle your "goals"

I have the filters on the link installed on my car

I agree there is more than enough power. When it does get a whipple. It will become a more dedicated car. Won’t be dailying it then.

I know it’s a stretch but did you notice anything power wise? Or throttle response?

you will gain nothing with any filters without a tune
I have them because they are dry washable and better than the oem filter

If you plan on racing performance half shafts would be a good insurance policy, especially if Whippled. Even then a good performance clutch may be needed. If Whippled keep in mind the may need rebuild at 20k miles in the worst circumstance. And sometimes much later. Also when Whippled fail parts may enter the engine and destroy is. Id say an engine is about $10k as is the SC. This is why I'm going to the Procharger which is great around town and comes on a little after 3k RPMs. It brakes down , it's just a small unit not attached to you engine. Comes off the be repaired or replaced, which almost anyone could do as easy as changing a tire. The Whippled comes on as soon as you stomp the gas pedal. If not going to SC it and want to race GT350 half shafts are a bargain at under $400. I believe they'll handle up to 600 horses. May even work for the Procharger. I'll have to check. The Whipple is a Monster. I owned one for a few months.
