Looking to move into fp green territory?

Alright, you can see in my signature what has been done. So my next goal is fp green, and an o2 housing, will an exhaust manifold make much or any difference at this point, as well as an upgraded intercooler?
Also taking into account my dyno numbers, what might I be looking at after the fact.
I know people may say search but I wanted to know for my specific setup. (yes I have searched)
Thanks in advance for any and all real answers

I did a lot of searching here. The only people I would buy and IC from is ETS. Best bang for the buck...Im probably going to get the 3.5 inch so I have room to grow.

With the fp green do you think the intercooler will give you gains of anything reasonable?

I would upgrade the intercooler as the stocker certainly would be a restriction with the increased flow the 20G provides. Might as well do the O2 housing while you are in there. I have the BR coated "ebay" one and many love it. If you do anything manifold wise I would recommend just porting and coating your stocker or just leave it alone. Also, FP is coming out with an HTA 20G soon so you might want to wait for that. I am.

Ditch the cat, BR SS o2 housing, ported hotside, and ported exhaust manifold. These alone are worth about 25-30whp on your current setup, add in a green and you will be up another 25whp or so. These numbers will be reduced greatly if you don't upgrade the FMIC as well. Do the FMIC now, you will see minimal gains, but you will see amazing gains from your next few steps. Consider doing ported IM/TB after that, and you will be up A LOT of power!

IMHO, BR RACE FMIC is the way to go!

go with the turbo. You will spool slower but manageable. SSo2 houseing cheap and beneficial(I have 3" WORKS o2 and down pipe true 3"). Go with HKS EVC6 instead of mbc. I peak 30 psi and hold 28psi at 7500rpm. excellent choices.

100% correct. That was part of the formula for us.

Depends on the amount of boost you plan to run. I wouldn't try to use the stock IX bov for anything over 24-25 psi. You'll want something stiffer for higher boost.

Sigh, I love the 9's bov, is there anything as reliable, I don't need ricer sound, I just need it to work, would I wanna learn toward a ricirculated bov in that case?

With meth or race gas you will see that.
