SO MUCH PORN...

 

If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious how much the knife edging set you back... I'd love to have a super lightweight bottom end. 

 

I'm going to jump in also about the mesh filters on the intake trumpets... in short, take them off. I have a bookcase full of automotive related texts, and every single one of them says that the mesh filters on the intake trumpets is a bad idea. The problem is not the size of the holes, but the turbulence that they cause. it pretty much negates the effect of the trumpets as well. If you spend some time studying fluid dynamics you'll realize how terrible they are for performance. Don't get me wrong, they look awesome, but you're losing power everywhere because of them, and they make tuning a b*tch. The best thing for performance is a boring old box, something along the lines of what comes on the s14. If you want, I can crunch some numbers for you and tell you what volume you'll need for a resonant airbox that increases your power at a certain RPM.
