After talking to Eric at Kozmic, I would have done the Dodson sump first and it will be the very next thing I do to the car!
I did HKS Hipermax IV and 18 x 10 + 20 Volk ZE40 wheels first coming from a show "background".
Then to address power I did ETS V2 catback, ETS high flow cat, AMS UICP, k&n filter, Cobb filter, and a Walbro 255 fuel pump.

How's the MR feel after these setups w/ AP3?

Yes to all..... boost gauge, wideband, etc., etc.

Its really strong. Its been very consistent. fuel economy has dropped to 22-24mpg from 25-27 on the hwy.

but overall

Getting the MR tuned by STM within a month I'll upload vid. Still haven't put the straight pipe/dp on yet. Should be a whole new car after this.

Just waiting on all the parts then to install and schedule a tune.

Parts to go on:
Grimmspeed 3 port
AMS LICP
AMS Intercooler
Upper intercooler elbow
AMS Downpipe
Speedcircuit testpipe
Full race headers

Might try to get it ready for e85 might keep it on pump gas not sure #s should be around 340-370 hopefully going to be conservative as it is my DD.

I was tuned at STM but by a third party who is extremely good with MR's. PM if you have any questions. My car runs flawlessly.

I have a few questions check your pm.
