I would do something else for the oil return than what drag gives you. I got some earl's fittings and steel braided line from summit.

I forget what exactly comes with the drag kit but you will probably want some decent gauges such as boost, egt, etc. If you get the dual monitor with your J&S you won't need a A/F gauge. You will also need a stronger clutch if you haven't already installed one. And colder spark plugs.

You won't be able to brag that you have a neato oil pan. Other than that, none really

To help avoid detotnation. Colder plug transfers more heat to the head so it in turns stays colder

I'd say start one step colder but check for proper burning after some driving.

Use a good copper plug, NGK works

If you can afford Str intake manifold go for it. Upgraded throttle body. Guages, water temp. oil pressure. Monster Tach. Hmmm...what else....block guard, Injectors maybe 310cc or 370cc. Msd.etc....

This is a funny post. I would suggest you add the 40 lb. sack of rocks and maybe some corn starch.

Why a copper plug? I realize it's a better conductor in someways, but I don't believe the NGK V-Powers (best value plugs) are copper...

MAP sensor bypass valve which keeps the CEL from coming on

It's used to bleed boost psi away from the map sensor. If the stock map sensor sees more than around 3psi it will get a CEL.
