What else should I do?

Well im getting paid tomorrow and im starting a fund for my 1990 FC NA and im wondering what you all think about what i plan on doing to it.

Engine/ Drive Train:
New 13b NA Agressive Streetport
9.5 Pound Flywheel
ACT Clutch Kit
Apexi Power FC
Apexi Intake
Custom Intake Piping
Full Apexi N1 Exhaust
Probably Custom Headers
Apexi High Flow Cat
Turbo II rear end & Tranny

Suspension/ Breaks:
Tein or HKS Coil Over Kit
Currnet rims
Vented Front Rotars
Slotted Rear Rotars
Hawk Pads

Exterior:
Turbo II Hood Scoop or reverse Scoop
Gunmetal paint
Non Flip light converson w/ Air inlet

Interior:
Bride seats
4 point harnesess
Rear Harness bar or a 6 Point bold in cage.
A pill gauge stack [AFM & Temp]
Nardi wheel or Mazda Speed wheel &shift ***
Custom shifter and ebreak Boots
Mild stripping [sound crap, spare tire, Tools and other pointless crap]

What do you guys think about my list that i made? Anything missing? This is goign to be a Touge/Speed car. Im trying to keep it astheticly pleaseing while making it semi light. Im Hoping to make around 220-240 HP with all of this done. Just curious of what you all think about my goal set up?

220-240hp is going to be hard to accomplish on a NA, that's about 200rwhp, which is possible, just hard to do. Kahren is in the 190rwhp range with a couple of his customer's cars, you can try hitting him up for some tips.

Thanks for the feed back and im sure that i could hit 200+ mark easly with a agressive street port because i figure 160 stock with a 15% [rough number] HP gain off the porting job pushing me to about 180 and the intake and with the exhaust/headers/straight pipe and the Power FC tuning all of that out i should get like a 10-20 more HP. Im just shooting for around 200 without turbo. I mgiht change my mind andswap to a turbo system thats why i plan on doing the T2 hood, Tranny, and Rear End swap first then im gunna get into doing the actual tuning with the suspension and then the engine so i have time to do alot of thinking. PLUS im actualy doign the engine swap last because this is my DD and im just gunna run it till it stops then worrie about what im gunna swap in it.

Meh this is mainly just a huge brain storm that i just had because i ran into my friend with his 440+ HP FD and it made me get into tuning brainstorm crazy mode haha

You do realize the 160HP stock is at the fly, right? So that's like what 120 RWHP.
I still can't decide if I want to go all motor or turbo. 200RWHP sounds cool all motor but then I think, that's pretty much as far as I can go if I don't want to do some massiv port job. If I ever want to go faster i'm kind of screwed. Turbos are so addicting though

If you dont want to go turbo and want real power just go LS1. Mods please lock this thread.
