Itll still be somewhat stock. I ordered a full exhaust from the downpipe back, and intake and meth kit. So should beright aaround 330whp which is just perfect for me.

Downpipe test pipe and exhaust is all from Ultimate Racing along with the intake. Then the meth kit is from snow performance and I also snagged a grimmspeed ebc. Should get them all installed by late February then off to the dyno in early March.

you do realize I have 400whp with those mods. .......? well I also have the licp but still. with the Meth you'll be higher than 330 easily. Maybe 330 without the Meth depending on how tite your tune is.

Have you tried ordering from STM? They offer $5 shipping to AK on most items (well, it was $3 about a year ago, but still). Another alternative, although not many options, is to enroll on Amazon Prime and order eligible stuff with free shipping. I've saved a lot on shipping (price as well), certainly more than the $80 yearly membership fee. Also there are a lot of vendors on ebay that offer free or low shipping (and on ebay I mean brand items, not the cheap stuff). Just gotta look for it. Also, for OEM stuff, I have ordered from www.oemmitsubishiparts.com and I found that for a lot of OEM stuff I get the lowest price including shipping, they are based in WA. As for fluids, I have Amsoil all around. Great oil, great for the low tempeatures, and with a $20 a year for the Preferred Customer membership, you get everything cheap. Including shipping, I've paid a lot less than actually buying Amsoil stuff from either Napa or the other store that I forgot the name in Fairbanks. There's a trick though, order to ship to their Portland warehouse, and on the instructions put your mailing address. Fairly cheap shipping prices. Just some tips.
