If you haven't set up the chassis fully, I'd concentrate on that and then worry about the motor. You're not going to break into the 13's (I'm assuming this is on street tires with a GSR) without building it up rather extensively. You'll need a helluva lot more than 2 grand to do so.
I realize that it will take more than $2000 to make it into the 13's the $2000 was money on hand for the first mods. So to refer back to your first point, do you think I shouldn't get a header and exhaust at this point because my future motor building plans?
How do you like your all comptech setup so far?
I don't have any mods thus far, I just said that I was thinking about getting Comptech products.
