What mods to get..

Well now that my car has about 1700 miles on it, mods are being ordered

The items i already ordered are:
Hks drop in filter
Blitz T. Timer
Greddy Profec B.C.

Now here is where i could use some advice. I have a few options on what else to get right now.
option A:
cams 264/272

option B:
Apexi Afc
Greddy Type-s b.o.v.
Walbro f.p

option C:
Greddy bov
Apexi n-1 exhaust

Currently i'm leaning towards 'B'. My buddy thinks 'C' which is also a good choice at this eairly stage in the modding. But I just can descide.. Any help is appericated. All 3 option + the stuff i already ordered cost about the same so $ isnt a factor in seperating them.

First off, if you are going to run more boost, you're going to have to run more fuel. The Walbro 255LPH works wonders. Secondly, if you're having more air pushed into your engine, don't you think that you need more to be pushed out? Get the exhaust next. Thirdly, with all that in mind, you're going to want to 'tune' the air/fuel when you boost up your boost and pump more fuel. With all that boost you're going to be running you're going to need a good BOV to hold that boost, and it looks as if you have already picked one.
I have had good results with the SAFCII. Unless you're wanting ridiculous amounts of power, go stand alone.
Better yet, you can hook up with VISHNU and get one of there XEDE ecu's.
It's all up to you.
My opionion only here.

Cams!
then keep them on the side, keep putting more miles on it until you can get fuel management

with those on a stock exhaust it would be a sleeper!... for a while

Get the cams, keep them, then get fuel management with a cheap mbc until you can get an electronic

Dont try to put the cams in without management

Follow a proven staged upgrade path. I'd get a turbo back exhaust and a WORKS P2 ECU flash.

You don't need to upgrade our fuel systems unless you're cranking up the boost by a lot. As proven by the WORKS P2 flash, holding boost to redline does not require a fuel pump upgrade. A lot of people seem to report driveability issues after installing a high flow fuel pump so this requires retuning.

Rear sway. Best bang for the buck mod.

Had my 24mm WORKS rear sway installed last week. All I can say is HOLY CRAP, why the hell didn't the evo come this way from the factory.

I can vouch for the WORKS rear sway bar also. On the middle setting, the bar got rid of most of the understeer. I'm tempted to try the stiffest setting now to see if I can kick the tail out.

Thats kind of why i was thinking about getting the afc now, so i can tune it a bit. I plan on running 21 psi with the controller, no more for awhile. Also thought about the flash, but i think it would be better to get a good base 1st then do the flash.

the flash would be your base,unless your referring to base level mods wich yes you would maybe want to flash when your parts are all on,but i think full 3"should be first on your list
and a fuel pump is more to prevent from starving your motor at high boost levels(the works flash is great but it reatains factory boost setting{19psi} just holds it until redline)thats why there is no need for upgraded pump w/ that
