Input on upgrades
I'm doing the valve cover gaskets, cam tensioners, plugs, and oil change.
i was considering getting the Phelonic spacers for the throttlebody, anyone have them?
Also thinking of putting a meth injection kit, Anyone install one?
I like the idea of it, and it seems like a good idea. Ultimately that in conjunction with a cryO2 kit to help drop intake temps.
And finally Intercoolers, FMIC or upgraded sides?
Any input would be appriciated.

I have a VAST progressive meth/ water kit installed, works great, keeps the intake temps at or slightly above ambient, even during a hard pull. I am stage 3 and running with stock IC's, with the meth it's all I need

Re: Input on upgrades
The stock IC's are designed to operate at efficiency for 9psi boost. The stock IC's have plastic end caps crimped onto the metal tanks that are OK for 9psi but the crimps are at risk of seperating at StgIII Boost levels.
StgIII boost levels will quickly heatsoak stock IC's and worse yet cause a ~2psi pressure restriction after the Turbo's and before the Intake which increases Turbo load / increased Turbo heat / shorter Turbo lifespan. If your StageIII, you will definitely find more power with upgraded IC's and the meth will compliment the build even more.
