Default Best upgrades for acceleration.

Current mods are AEM V2, Megan racing header, Invididia exhaust, and HKS grounding kit. I am just wanting some suggestions on what the next uprgade should be as far as acceleration. I see alot about gears and ecu upgrades, and just wanted some opinions.

Someone was saying there was an ecu upgrade by balistics that was better than gears.

^--- Wasn't that the case where this guy was turboed and there was no local tuner, so he couldn't get it tuned, therefore he ordered a pretuned engine management from ballistics.

But every engine is different so you can get an ECU but you have to get it tuned.

Nitrous?

ballistic's pre tuned emanage is amazing..... its not for turbo cars .... only N/A. The gains were amazing and gears were a nice improvement also.

the tune is partial and WOT so driving under normal conditions was improved nicely. The unit is adjustable using the dip swtches on the side, settings for intake and exhaust and 4 diff. settings for timing ( mild to aggressive ). I have yet to use the aggressive timing setting because it requires colder plugs and cooling mods ( thermostat and fan switch ).

Just get both and call it a day

A test pipe would go well with your gears/ecu also. Cheap but effective mod.
