I have a 95 gsr with a ls engine T3/T4 hybrid, Aem ems, intercooler, cold air, msd ignition, sleeved block, je pistons, eagle h rods, 550 msd injectors, port n polished head, exaust, aem fuel regulator, arp bolts, Fal fans, greddy blowoff, drag wastegate, fjo wideban, apexi turbo timer, apexi turbo boost computer, auto meter boost, and air/ fuel gauges, short shift, 13 inch aem brakes, 17 inch enkie rims, toyo tires. Any thing else I should buy? anything here I dont need? How do I brake my engine in??? What kind of plugs should I use?

Do a search, there are many engine break in threads.
Make sure that you're not running too lean before you drive it.. don't want to detonate. Make certain to prime the engine, keep the RPMs down for the first 500 miles or so. Change the oil often, your first few changes will be metallic, want to get it all out of there. As far as plugs, you probably want to run one that is colder than stock, NGK and Denzo are good plugs, I use Denzos.
Also...
I wouldn't take advice from n00bs that can't speak english either.

Earlier than that, the bearing material builds up quick, I did 300-400 mile oil changes, until there was no longer any bearing material in it.
