BRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't think of much else to suggest that hasn't already been covered by the guys. The only other suggestions would be if you plan to pull the motor apart and have it ported and prepped for more power.
However, let me just chime in on the exhaust volume/power issue. Your exhaust does not have to be loud to insure that you are getting the most power. The bottomline is you are going to run into a point where opening up the exhaust will actually make less power where you want it to be on a street-driven car.
Obviously we all have our different tastes as far as how loud we want our cars, and I'm not going to say loud is bad, I already went through my "louder than hell"-phase ... and it was fun
However, I just wouldn't want someone to start thinking that louder necessarily means more power because it doesn't! The RB systems prove this! There are very, very FEW systems (at least, systems that I know of) that can flow more than the RB systems, and all of them have to be custom-made ... and in my experience, you MUST be running a ported engine to see it.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Laters!
