Talking Operation Camry

The Camry is going to be going into the shop really really soon. When I get it back im going to keep it off the road so I can continue to do some time consuming mods. Heres what I have in mind.

ECU
Cams
Under drive pulley
Throtle body *individual?*
Intake manifold
Straight pipe exhaust with apexi active valve muffler
Some type of engine control? Venom 400 module?
Some spray.

Anyone know of where to get these items and which is the best to buy?

Suspension....What company offers the best cornering? Im not concerned about ride quality
Struts?
Tires?
stut bars?
sway bars?
I really want to take my time with the car since its already off the road and sitting, like the sig says, its coming back, strong.....No more bsing with this car, time to really get into it.
Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah....5s-fe engine....auto slush box.
and its a 1995.

Cool

ECU - SMT-6 piggyback. Find my install post for a 3vz-fe to see it's specs. If you had the time, I'm sure you would find out you could run your entire engine off an smt-6 piggyback WITHOUT the ECU. Don't do that just to prove it. Stay with the stock system as a base. You're not going to outrun it's ability anyways. Same cost as the AFC's and E-Manage type products, with *actual* useable abilities!
Cams - Stock... FE cams have a large useable powerband. Forget regrinds/welds, or GE cams.
Under drive pulley - If you want. There is previous discussion on them & balance issues, cost/gain etc.
Throtle body *individual?* - No... Larger TB's are not very good investments; horrible power gain/cost, while individuals are too hard to tune, and even worse cost/performance wise.
Intake manifold - Stock... Port and polish it just a bit. Don't worry about port matching. That's over-rated bullshit. Just smooth it out, then polish it.
Straight pipe exhaust with apexi active valve muffler - OK
Some type of engine control? Venom 400 module? - No... This is what your ECU control is for. Venom doesn't do shit anyways. You could wire a resistor in your airbox and do the same thing. (i.e. it works for 0.25 of a second, then the ECU instantly trims it back out via the o2 sensor. It becomes a long-term change quickly, and will continue to be trimmed out even in open-loop mode, where the o2 sensor is ignored)
Some spray. - NOS wet kit. Maybe try to fab your own manifold injection if you wanna be a CRAAAAAZY BOOOOY!!!

Struts? -Whatever everybody else says
Tires? -Goodyear Eagle F1's
stut bars? - Whatever the stiffest ones you can find are, or get the ends, and make your own.
sway bars? -Whiteline
Springs - I say anything over a 1.6" drop. No shitty drops. Put the bastard on the ground and make it stiff.

Cool.




I say forget all cam/intake/pulley/n2o mods. Build the engine and slap a turbo on it. Port & polish the FE heads with the stock cams in them and blow the piss out of the 3S-GTE lovers with your fatter powerband.
