yea but that would be to much $$$ lol, its got to be a daily driver altho i understand that 10:5 compression could handle that (then this is where the $$$ issue comes to play because i only have a part-time job & still have school). What do think of what i have listed?

Any one else?

Looks good to me...I would just suggest a built bottom end with different compression depending on if you want to go turbo or stay NA. Whats it look like on the exterior?

You might think about the bottom end as a serious investment in your car man. I've been running 10.5:1 for almost a year now and it's great. I think that you're on the right track, but considering how an increase in CR of 1 point yields 4% gain overall, you'd really see a nice gain with your current mods. 4% of 200 (when you spray) is much nicer than 4% of 140 (when you're stock). }(

thanks guys, i might consider that rebuild later on, most likely toward late summer...As for the exterior its umm all stock (its a RS so im gonna pick up some stock side skirts) Re-paint the car white, a carbon fiber hood (b/c mine has a dent that is not removable damn previous owner lol) n put on some nice rims (17" Gunmetal w/ Kuhmo Tires)thats about it
