I agree, that is why I am not looking for a major track car (strip or cross). Just the main bolt-on's to get some of the potential out of the car. Turbo wise, I'd be looking at a stock frame turbo setup is all. Mainly seeing the BBK and FP Red right now. But yeah turbo will come next year or later.

I guess I'm trying to steer you away from both intercooler and cams at this point to address other needs. I own an MR and wanted to do it right the first time. Autocross has really helped with that, since you are limited in mods according to your class. But that has let me do things right step by step. I know you're only going to have a fun street ride but you don't want to throw money into it and end up having the wrong combination or worse, have things start to break--mistake with my 04 STi. We also don't know what your definition of fun street ride.
That said, yes you'll need upgraded injectors because who really drives around with such low boost levels. You can get used injectors for a relatively low price here in the forums. But that 6 speed will not hold up long if you're the type of guy who will mash on that go pedal frequently. I'm planning on a bit more power/torque so I bought a 5 speed for conversion and have cams waiting for install/tune after that. Due to autox, I'm not upgrading my intercooler because of the weight increase, especially at the very front of the car. If you are set on the fmic and/or cam upgrade first, it's your money. Good luck .

I assume you've already read this, yes?

That being said, It think your gains between the two parts would be pretty close. As mentioned, if your budget can afford it, getting both parts up front will save you money on tuning since you'll only have to tune the car once.

Yep there is a torque capacity for the 6-speed.
There is a lot of useful info here:

Yes I have read the dummy post. That's been my basic guide so far.
As for the street ride, for perspective, I think the pedal has legitimately hit the floor four times. Just driven for some spirited driving on country roads around here and no need to show off or push it to the limits. I'm looking to keep her on the roads and not in the garage constantly fixing something else like some of my V8 buddies cars haha.
But of course, I'm a guy so more power means more fun... Within limits of course. I've always enjoyed tweaking my past vehicles (3000GT and G35) but nothing has been this sensitive to work with.
So injectors will be next then. All of the info has been much appreciated so far.
