Next step after headers
So now that headers are in and i have to wait for new raidiator fan, i been looking at widebands. I plan on getting vafc2 just want to know whats the best wideband to go with it. I dont know much about tunning so i plan on having someone else do it any hell is great!

I like innovates gauges alot! Just need to know how important is it to datalog and rpm stuff. I understand the concept of a wideband but is it needed if im not tunning myself? Cuz to me its seems like it just a gauge
I always think about turboing the maxima but idk

If you're having it tuned you may not need the wideband.
If you're taking it to a dyno shop they'll have a wideband that reads from the tail pipe. If you're just having an air/fuel tune on an NA car there's no need to monitor it after that.
If you're going to have someone street tune it you may need the wideband since they probably won't have a lot of equipment.
Either way, on an NA car it's just another gauge. I have one but the gauge is tucked away by the ECU along with the VAFC2. There's no need to look at either of them once the tune is complete.

Same here im in talk with cgr avlut the 4" i will be buying vafc2 very soon then gtr injectors and then hopefully tune it! As for the TB im not sure yet seems high to me i have to check dynoa of people with similar mods and a 75mm TB

Depending on when you're planning the 4" intake, you may want to wait and have it all tuned at the same time. You can run the headers untuned and it'll run a little rich at high RPM. No problem.
You'll really want to tune immediately after the 4" intake/injectors no matter what. It might make sense to put the cost of the extra tune into bumping the 4" intake ahead of schedule and only paying for one tune.

Just to clarify you will need a wideband to attempt a street tune. On a na car it's pretty basic you can't really mess up to bad. I sure there's been cases but you would need to do something very foolish. I've made some dumb mistakes on my turbo max and got a way with it with much slimmer margins for error.

Exactly. Once it's tuned there's not much to do. Gauges are important on a turbo car for several reasons. On a simple NA car there's not much going on to worry about.

I'm pretty sure Donkey was joking about the cams.

Strange GTR injectors, a 4” intake, and a WB weren’t mentioned as a combo, along with a test pipe and 3” exhaust. I am still sort of on the fence re: the 09TB just mostly because of the price.
Also, as a side note, headers were my first mod actually, so many many things came after headers for me.
IMO Cams $:result ratio is not as enticing as an HR swap.
