I always am the paranoid type...Let's say I do race...I can see it now..launch..1st gear to redline....second gear to redline...third gear...POOFF.....oops..something broke 
I absolutely cannot race my car until around Feb of next year, when I will actually have a second car to take to work if....car god forbid...my car breaks one way or another. The good news is, this gives me time to tune and test the car, make sure she is rock solid. Even with all that going for me, I'm still afraid to break the diff housing I hear sometimes breaks under stock torque 
... that's another upgrade lol...I get a feeling that an ideal setup for me would be something like the following(same deal as my WRX, except that car was like TBE ->gutted uppipe ->tune ->bigger turbo/injectors/fuel pump/tune :
1. Headers(Rick's perhaps...cheaper than the Mugen and Comptech..try and find a used rick's even)
2. Exhaust...maybe a high flow cat..dont know if I feel like dealing with an O2 sensor fix, or a blackened rear end from exhaust. Does a catless S just require a spacer to trick the O2?
3. tune
This is all in my head..all in all I am getting ahead of myself. Like I said, not very fond of street racing. I prefer the road track...which i've only done one weekend of so far, but I am addicted. but we'll see

hey who got in my engine bay without permission?! 
Yeah that video makes it sound reall loud. It's not nearly that rackety in real life, and also, if you close the hood, its a ton softer fyi 
But at least this video gives you an idea of the basic tone of the blower 
Lemme know if I'm at a meet if you wanna hear it, I'll turn er on for ya!(the car that is)
