I'm pretty happy where I'm at. I've learned a lot from those here. I'll upgrade the pulley to 3.0 at some point and stop there for the time being.
I ended up getting a M/C so that's satisfying the need for speed for me right now.

I would have kept the factory stereo system in rather than putting in a custom one since I hardly listen to music in the s2k. Other than that, I'm very happy with my current setup (SOS S/C kit, Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, and Direzza Z1 Star Spec tires). No headaches, no money pit, and low maintenance just like I like my women.

I'm very happy with my build but if took another stab at it I would have probably gone with a GT35, coilpacks, a digital dash interface instead of serial gauges, and a better setup for relieving crank case pressure.

tap the valve cover and run 2 -10an lines to a crankcase breather, thats what im doing.
I currently have crankvents in place. they work great under boost, just still get a little oil in the intake here and there under normal driving condittions.
I am thinking about getting some okada coil packs as well.
This car is a work in progress, I don't think it will ever be done.

If I could do it over again I would just take my time with one setup instead of literally buying and reselling 6 damn configurations. Im afraid the exhaust whore-ism just cannot and WILL not ever be cured. I did find it interesting that you said oem shocks springs and not so much sway bars. Have you had aftermarket springs or coilovers and just prefer stock the stuff?

I've seen used for pretty cheap on there and they also have group buys for those if you wanted one new.

Would have stayed with evrything the same, except would have gone Kpro to start with, used the 1200 Paxton, maybe 1500, and most importantly would have bought a MY05! Return fuel system would have made life much easier. ugh
