Default what mods to do next?

Well i've got my motor all rebuilt with the cc306 the pro mag 1.6rrs, pacesetter lt's y and 3" back. 4.10 gears and madz tune, and i must say i'm very pleased. I have an extra set of heads being worked by a local guy that has been putting out better flow numbers than ai on ls heads and is 1/3 the price! anxious to see what he produces.....So I know everyone does most all the bolt on stuff first but I wasn't sure which to go with on certain things such as air intake, slp, k&n, volant???? Also have to get a stall still, and not sure if I should go 2800-3200 or 3200 to 3600ish, and also wondering if the under drive pulleys would be worth it. I'm doing a wet 150 nitrous kit next month so I wanted to button up all the loose ends before that. Are there any other productive mods left for me to do??

I would NOT use anything less than a 3600 with that cam. When you order your stall be sure to tell them you will also be using nitrous. Should run very well on nitrous

I would call comp and give them the specs on your car and they will suggest a stall. I run a 306 with 4.10 in an auto car and I'm using a circle d 4000. Hits super hard and I get cnsistant 1.41 60 foot, times foot braking it.

It's a 96 formula a4 and just today i'm finding that my fuel pressure is pretty low and dropping out under load so i guess the walbro is the next mod on the list......4000 stall huh? I would have thought that would be too high but i'll def look into that thanks, any recommendation on adjustable fuel pressure reg? Now that i'm getting into the dialing eveything in I'm gonna be in a rut cause i don't have anyone around here that deals with these cars so it's homo be tough getting it fine tuned
