Default mod ?/help

sorry for another post on moding my car but i had another mod question/setup
i have a 06 si and i had two setup that i was going to run by you guys to see what you thought?
-fujita sri, dc header, skunk2 70mm exhaust
or
-stock intake instep of the fujita sri

i ask because i have been reading posts and i guess what i have heard that the stock is better than any after market one and the rest is about the same with a better sound but the stock is better because of the MAF/ not being able to tune. i will probably have to change it any way some day because i would like to go boost(sc).
so any input or help would be great. thanks in advance.

-other ? is which would be a better dd suspension(basic tein-pro s skunk2)? just want to add that question

injen cai is the best one right now in many peoples opinions. if your gonna turbo youll lose the header and the intake anyway, but if you charge it you can retain both, not sure if you already knew that?

sorry about that"modding your car, not moding" i was in a hurry to type before my computer died. ya i new about the turbo(-header and intake) from my turbo build on a b16. thats why i was thinking about supercharging this time. i love the sound of a turbo bov but i thought i would try something different this time. thanks for the input i was also looking into those intakes too.

You may not be able to tune...but the Intake/RH/Exhaust WILL make a significant difference. The biggest of the three would most likely be the Race Header being that it eliminates the catalytic converter.....which is one of the most restrictive components on the car in terms of robbing power.

Intake and Exhaust will make a slight difference.....but most likely nothing drastic.

As far as Turbo vs. S/C.....it all depends on your habits. But if you plan on purchasing a couple mods beforehand.....then I would stick with the Supercharger since (as stated above) you will be able to retain those mods.

If you're looking for insane amounts of power and have the dough to cough up on upgrading internal components to withstand high amounts of turbo boost.....then go with the turbo setup. But if you're not power hungry then a Supercharger complimented with a few added boltons should do just fine.

Hondata is developing a means to tune the K20Z3.....so tuning will eventually be of no concern if you're willing to wait a little while.
