Alright, heres the deal, I am planning a full build for my MSP and had a few questions. I've searched the site long and hard but didn't find answers for everything. I plan on using a local very reputable shop(D and D Rods and Mods) for everything and before I drop the bomb to them I would like to know as much as possible first. I am building the car to be a dependable daily driver with around 230-250whp and also be able to crank the boost and push around 400whp when needed, like at the track. I would like to at least run low 11's in quarter mile. I like to drive my vehicles a little hard so it needs to withstand a little abuse. I know this is a huge project but I do not want to cut any corners, so that is why I want to get everyones opinions, and suggestions first. Below is a list of things I plan on getting to complement what I already have (check my sig for owned mods):
Built FS-DE with stroker kit
AEM EMS - (dont know price yet but shop is AEM certified)
ProtegeGarage Transmission Upgrade Kit - $899
GT2871R Turbo - $1,195
GReddy PRofec Type-S Electronic Boost Controller - $319
GReddy Full Auto Turbo Timer - $85
HKS Universal Circle Earth Grounding System - $136
MAZDASPEED Turbo Stud Replacement Kit - $46
ARP Head Studs - $119
Fidanza 7.5 lb Light Weight Aluminum Flywheel - $349
Spec Stage 3 Full face Clutch - $589
AEM Cold Air Intake - $279
Give me all your suggestions and opinions on what you think of the list or if I am missing anything. What rods/pistons should I go with? long rod or stock length? Also, I read something about crank walk and was wondering what that is? Is there a better turbo for my setup than I have listed? Will the transmission upgrade hold up to that amount of power? Will I need new axle shafts? Will my FMIC flow enough? I probably will come up with more questions as time goes on but I guess we'll start with these.
