Default ready to boost ALMOST DONE!

Hi guys im ready to boost my 2000 civic ex
I have an edelbrock kit but I plan on getting tuned on crome
blue top 450cc dsm injectors
a chipped p28 ecu
aem wideband o2 sensor
arp headstuds
(probably forgetting something ill add it later if I remember)

I also have a 3'' exhaust
I plan to get a 3'' downpipe because The edelbrock one is a 3'' but bottlenecks at the cat to 2.25''


I plan on getting tuned at Importautopros in Westminster ca
what else do I need??

Thanks guys

EDIT:
also have a 255lph? walbro fuel pump

3" exhaust is a complete waste if it crams into a 2.25" cat.

An oil cooler would not help you in this case at all. Unless you plan on road racing the car.

That's the beauty of Hondas (and D-series), you don't need much.

Make sure you have a fresh set of plugs.

Did you do a compression test on the car beforehand? Couldn't hurt to have that on record to see in the future if you're gaining some blowby.

Speaking of blowby, do you have a breather? Catch-Can?

You should get a breather kit on this before u shoot the dipstick out and blow your rings out
I learned the hard way...
It was fun boosting until I had to pull the motor. Haha fun while it lasted.
Guaranteed it would have lasted way longer w a good catchcan setup
