Opinion on my setup

[TheChamp359]

Ok, not sure if you would consider this bench racing but I want to see everyones opinion on the setup I have ready to install. I ordered and paid for 90% of the things I am listing, I am waiting on ordering the clutch, flywheel and eibach springs. The car just had $500 in maintence performed by a mitsubishi mechanic ( Timing belt, Water pump and a few seals). I will be home from Iraq in a month and have all the parts sitting and waiting for me, I know many of you are against the LSD insert, but I wanted to try it out and save up for a better tranny. I have thick skin so if you think the setup is retarded its ok I won't get offended as long as you point me in the right direction. I plan on using Vfaq for the clutch swap.

From my newb experience it sounds like a good setup. Is the FMIC also coming with the ebay pipes? Is the Greddy style MBC a boost controller? If so why do you have two listed?

What are you trying to accomplish?

as far as aftermarket springs go, the factory ones are actually stiffer that the eiback's.

I would go with larger injectors myself. Not sure if they have e85 out there but if they do I would go big (1000-1200). The chipped ecu can compensate for them. If not ever going to swap over I would get at least 750-850 so you have room to grow if you ever upgrade. Maybe think of a meth injection kit to help keep detonation down. Thats always a good thing.

I would look into the FP manifold. I seen issues with SBR mani's. The FP is a very nicely designed piece. Also add a wbo2 so you could tune it yourself and always see you afr. The short shifter is a tranny killer IMO. Other then that I say it looks solid for making some good power.
