That kind of thing isn't really answerable as people usually have different ideas to what they want to do with the car. My mantra is to spend as little money possible modifying the car to the desired power/responsiveness goals as can be done.

Though after all of that i don't see a tune listed maybe you should look into that.

Hi. Two quick question. I have installed TBE, Greddy intake, 265lphfuelpump and HKS EBC + tune. Im planning to go ported manifold and GSC S1 cams and a retune. Do I need to upgrade my injectors? and what is the safest boost level? Im using 97 octane here. Thanks.

with 97 octane you very well might need to jump up to larger injectors

A tune is reflashing the stock ECU to accept different fuel and timing settings among other possibilities.
