Default Going NA, and I need parts with the highest HP and TQ #'s

I currently have a non-rev-up 2005 Enthusiast 6sp. My current mods are JWT Clutch and lightweight flywheel. My goal is to get the highest HP and TQ numbers from the following categories.

Headers: Is it Alphaworks?

Exhaust: ?

Intake: JWT Pop-Charger? Injen CAI?

High Flow Cats: ?

Spacer: Motordyne 5/16, I am pretty sure on this one.

Light Weight Crank Pulley: ?

Cams: Down the road, but would like imput.

Tune: Utech?

Can you please help me with these categories?

If you want the most HP then it's gonna cost quite a bit more for quality parts.

Headers: Is it Alphaworks? (Crawford)

Exhaust: ? (I like Nismo, HKS, or Fast Intentions)

Intake: JWT Pop-Charger? Injen CAI? (JWT)

High Flow Cats: ? (Crawford, or just get test pipes)

Spacer: Motordyne 5/16, I am pretty sure on this one.

Light Weight Crank Pulley: ? (I dont think these are worth the hp/$)

Cams: Down the road, but would like imput. (JWT, Nismo, or Tomei depending on how big you want to go)

Tune: Utech? (It's UTEC)

Can you please help me with these categories?

These are just my opinion and what I would do.

http://crawfordz.com, These are harder to install but most people show a little more power over ther others. I will probably be getting the DC or Strup just b/c of the easier install. I've also heard something about the Crawfords boiling clutch fluid but Im gonna let you go search around and see what you ultimately want for your car. There's tons of info out there.

The only thing I am worried about with headers, is RASP! Does anybody know if these Crawford headers or Alphaworks headers make the car sound RASPY?

If you want high horsepower don't go NA. It's as simple as that.

I am not going to buy everything at once, but I do plan having it all by the end of summer. I am willing to pay good money for parts.

I think that I will go with the Injen CAI, over the JWT. I am going to be showing this car, and they seem to have similar gains. I forgot about the gears, but that will probably be next winter.

Now, about the headers. I have read that the Crawford headers add 20HP with the plenum and their high flow cats. Then, I see that the Alphawork headers only add 21hp. http://www.nexusindustry.com/alpha_i...OVMTC=advanced

Does the Alphawork header dyno include other parts? Does the alphawork dyno sheet look off (Like they under estimated the stock run)?

MI 35 has a point on the JIC single TI exh, saves u a lot of weight and it give pretty good gains but not sure if it s more or less then the hks ti, but the whole exh weights under 10lbs.............and saving weight is key in this game

100 lbs is est about .10 of a second off 1/4...

You can easily shead 100 lbs if all you want to do it drag, also Id remove the front sway and sound deadoning material, lightweight seats and dry carbon hatch with lexan window. Aftermarkets coilovers will also let you get outta the hole quicker.
