I am either going to get this:

Stage 1 w/ bullet muffler, Forge Unos MBC, no cat
Forge RS BOV
Fuel Pump
HKS Cams
BR LICP
SMC Alky
Exedy Clutch

Or this:

Stage 1 with a Forge Unos MBC, no cat, Bullet Muffler
Stage 2 with a Forge RS BOV
Evolution Stainless Steel Fabricated 02 housing
Ported and Coated Exhaust Manifold
10.5 Turbine Housing
Fuel Pump
Exedy Clutch

Can't decide. Help?

I will be going to Buschur's in April to get all this installed and flashed when Al makes another trip up there.

i run 3 businesses so i usually owe every year. now that i'm married & have a baby, we're getting a small chunk back.

the '05 needs 3 tires, DP, mbc & a boost gauge.

the '03 needs an ATS clutch, front LSD, rotors, stainless brake lines, & some tires with 100 treadwear or less. either will go with the Advan A032R's (60 tw), Advan A048's (60 tw), Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (80 tw), Toyo Proxes R888's (100 tw), or Nitto NT-01's (100tw)

Why would you get cam gears, but no cams?

damn taxes!!!! all of my friends are getting something in return, even my parents and my big sister, and i'm the only one who owes to the government . Tax return are only good for people that are married and especially with children, single people get screwed. That's the price we pay for not sharing the lot I guess...

There are gains to be made in torque with retarding the stock cams ~2-3 degrees...not tremendous, but the gains are there. This is basically the Vishnu V360 set up. I also have to pass smog check in St. Louis, too. Cams tend not to be too smog friendly.

Wow I think some people have no idea how to fill out a W-4.

If you are claiming too many deductions, not as much money will be taken out from your paycheck but you risk underpaying the government. If you put a big "0" on this form the government will take out the most money. You can even tell them to take out extra from each pay check just in case.

However, this only works on income from an employer. Any self earned income you have to report yourself and make sure that you saved enough for taxes.

Everyone will pay the same amount of federal income tax at the same amount of income, assuming they have the same amount of deductions. It's not like some guy with 60k income will get screwed and pay more than another guy with 60k income.

True and true, everyone is obligated to pay the same rate at the same bracket... however many things will make you "pay" less... good ol' deductions! Interest paid on Mortgage, charitable donations, we'll get a small one this year for the Prius, etc... In other words I'm charged the same rate as someone of my same income who rents an apartment, but in effect I actually pay the Gov. a bit less...

Obviously you know that, but I just thought I'd share, because I love this time of year... it's when owning a home really pays off...

true, im single and getting back 2700, claiming 0

ive been told that claiming 0 means you get the most taken out each paycheck but get more back in april, and vice versa for 1, they take out less and you get less, but you have a bigger chance of underpaying and owing uncle sam
