They were refering to the ZPI stage one Head, not the turbo... Dunno if I would bother if i wasnt going F/I though. Its just a ported head right?? Theyre offering a special offer for labrats for theyre stage 2 head... im kinda interested in seeing how it stacks up. Is there a reason your anti F/I... the supercharger is a pretty safe bet and its warrentied. Your standard I/H/E combo isnt gonna put all that much more power down... I just dont think that you get enough power for your buck. Suspension is a must! I dont see why not go for the Hotchkis combo...How much of a drop is the hot chkis springs?? I was told that is was pretty damn low... are coilovers nessesary for a daily driver?? I dunno, im not so suspension smart :p

the hotchkis system is great for a lot of people, but just not for me. I have great quality roads around here, so i can ride around slammed and still be a-ok. That's why i want coilovers, so i can go lower than my s-tech's and even out the back with the front.

I am not anti F/I, I just prefer to stay N/A right now... I like to build my engine from the ground up before putting any major mods on the car...
I want the hotchkis system because i live in columbus ms and there are huge curbs and potholes everywhere. i have scraped a few times and i am ridin at factory height with the factory lip kit..

On a more serious note, I'd say get the Quaife LSD, Findanza flywheel, and a clutch of your choice, since those are probably the most difficult and time consuming mods to do. It's not too hard to do the other mods you listed, plus you can do those every month or so to keep you busy.
