AEM water injection is a waste, I would get something better like Aquamist or not do it at all. You will only see marginal benefits. AEM wideband, way better products out there for the money look into the Innovate LC-1.

Innovate, defi makes really good gauges in amber to match the interior cluster gauges for that oem look. Look into the package deals

Im serious. I had the mishimoto fans and they werent keeping my car cool enough in the summer last year. You do know that they only have one speed and most people that run them end up replacing the idle fan with a bigger one?

I have no compains about the mishimoto radiator thus far.

Add a oil kit cooler to your list

Just plan for the build now..forget about water injection. Its not gonna prevent anything..the stock block will fail, its just a matter when its going to happen.

My OEM fans, did crap for me last summer in TX heat. I saw temps abover 240. since then I've gotten a vented hood (which dropped down 10 degrees) then the mishimoto shroud with a 14 inch spal fan wired to a pwm, and a 12inch mr gasket fan wired into the factory harness and I stay around 200 degrees and we've already had temps in the 98-100s already. Was it the most cost effective method...not sure. but, in my case, OEM fans were not sufficient.
