Plans for my 03 Evo VIII - Need Opinions

I want to know if what I want to do in the next few weeks is a smart choice.

I've seen many people go many different routes and I've had my car for over 2 years now and I figure it's about time to gain a little more power.

Please, let me know if there are better alternatives out there or something I should do instead of what I have planned.

It's nothing big, but I've been reading EvoM for months now and I feel I've gathered enough info & seen new products come out that I can make a pretty good decision.

First off, the current mods on my car:

- Ultimate-Racing 3" Downpipe
- Ultimate-Racing 3" High-Flow Cat
- Greddy Titanium 3" Catback Exhaust
- HKS 272/272 Camshafts
- MBC @ 24psi
- Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
- AEM Short Ram Intake

All of the above were tuned & dyno'ed by TurboTrix Racing in New Jersey over a year ago on 93 octane and I have had zero problems with it.

Dyno numbers were 332awhp & 312ft/lbs of torque (somewhere around there, I don't remember anymore)

Recently I've moved to Las Vegas and all they've had here is 91 octane and that's what I've been filling up the car with.

Car hasn't blown up yet (thank god) and I don't beat on the car very often (just when needed ).

What I plan to order in the next few weeks (2-3 weeks to be exact) are the MAFTpro & solid intercooler pipes.

I'll be getting the MAFTpro with all the sensors & everything needed to make it a complete package. I'm going to be converting over from MAF to MAP. And probably moving my battery to the trunk.

I don't plan on running 10s just yet. When and if I do, I'll save up & get the AEM EMS and a turbo kit.

What does everyone here think?

I've never run my car at the track (no time) so I have no idea what it runs.

Is there anything else I should get in order to compliment the MAFTpro? Bigger injectors? Polished O2 housing, 10.5 hotside? Or will I be ok?

I ask because I'm not too familiar with the MAFTpro and I want to know what everyone thinks.

Thanks for all your input & taking the time to read all this crap
