Project Ideas
Hello everybody.
Recently I picked a new daily driver (2002 Honda Civic Si) for commuting to work, so now I can store my 94 Lightning for the winter and will be able to do some more extensive mods. Already installed mods are full exhaust(Hooker long tubes, Bassani midpipes sans cats, and Flowmaster 40 series mufflers), Banks Transcommand, long traction bars, electric fans, air intake, and smog delete.
Eventually I want to do a stroker build with it, but I can't afford all that right now. Does anybody have any suggestions for good power adding mods that can be done without pulling the engine? Just kind of wanting a fairly easy winter project.
Thanks!

No clue what stewart and luthier are talking about. I don't have a blower and I don't intend on putting one on.
Eventually I'd like to push over 500 rwhp naturally aspirated, but thats several years down the road. And budget wise eventually i wouldnt mind dropping upwards of 10k in the drive train, but I don't have that kind of money right now or a place to take on a project like that.
As of right now I just kind of want something to do over the winter to add a little more to it. 1k would be my max for this winter since i just started a new job and i'm trying to get some sort of a budget worked out.

Looks like you have the bolt-ons covered already. I'd definately suggest doing a roller cam swap then. You can use the roller hardware (spider, lifters, dogbones) from a 5.0 stang or mid/late 90's F-series pickup, and it's usually less than a 100 bucks. If your rig is still speed density then your cam choices are going to be a limited. A custom grind cam will take the guess work out of choosing an off-the-shelf cam, and it would be something you could sell later on when you plan on doing your next build.
What are you using/doing to tune your rig?

No need to pull the motor, however, you'll need to remove the radiator and possibly the A/C condenser. I'd also suggest installing an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to help increase the fuel pressure at WOT. Also, look into getting a wideband O2 to monitor your air/fuel ratios and it'll also help dial in your FPR.

LFP is a crappy business and rips off other peoples products left and right.
I can provide proof to these statements should anyone request it.
