FMIC or Bolt-ons
I'm installing an ACT Xtreme S/S clutch in my car soon and just found out I have another $1000 free to spend on the car.
Should I get a Greddy FMIC
or
ACT Flywheel, Crank Pulley and Efini Y-pipe
It's hard for me to pull the tranny and not replace the flywheel, but which choice would increase horsepower the most?

I would do the flywheel while you're doing the clutch. It makes the motor feel much more responsive in lower gears and when matching revs. Have you considered buying a used ic? I've seen the blitz stock mounts selling used for around $500
If you drag race the car very much, a lightweight will only hurt your launching. If you are going to run more boost or get an upgraded turbo, an intercooler upgrade is what you should get, even at the boost levels you are at now it would be a good idea.

It's a great upgrade if you don't want to have fitment problems with the duct and are just after some basic performance. I used one for years.

I take it that the turboback catback removes the precat and the main cat? If its just a catback I would highly suggest a downpipe.
But the intercooler will also help with heat soak.Therefore reducing detonation and also preserving more horsepowerr after your initial run down the 1/4 mile.Then again with a slipping clutch you also lose lots of power.Fix the clutch before you go upgrading any more go fast parts.The way I see it if your clutch is slipping now it will still rob you of power whether you have a intercooler or not.In its own way its almost like getting a performance mod since you will regain some lost power.
