why bother with a super expensive header if you're planning on going FI?

He could be going sc'd. In which he still uses his header and not a manifold.

Probably Innovative with the softest inserts, they are still pretty stiff, albeit necessary for racing.

Like the structure of your thread here and am looking forward to the upgrades.

What type of racing did you do?
Time attack, check my signature. I won't be getting back into that right away, mostly just want a fast track toy.

Correct, 90% sure I'm going with a supercharger, less heat, more reliable, better response/powerband characteristics.

I'll have to take pics sometime. I have the unit behind the rear view mirror on the pass. side so only the rear sensor is showing. The concealed display is stuck under the HVAC controls with 3M double sided gray mounting tape.

Mini-update. Got a set of slightly used Volk CE28N (thanks Dave (Mule22) ) and just placed a deposit on a Voltex Type 7 (1600mm width, 275mm stands). Next I need to settle on a set of coilovers.

The Cusco LSD is ok but OSGiken is best I plan on doing a wright up on the MFactor 1.5way clutch type LSD. I just finished doing a break in and 300 miles of daily driving on the MFactory, I can tell you now I like it better than the Cusco

Voltex wing arrived, ordered driveshaft spacers, camber joints, and new brake rotors from GTM. Pics will be coming soon when I have a warm weekend to install everything.
