Pat,
recount:
Cobb CAI
Cobb EL headers w/hi flow
Stromung catback
Unorthodox underdriven and ligthened pulley
Exedy LW flywheel
NGK PFR5 platinums
Cobb Spicy cams
CHR Motorsports Pnp'd head w/stock internals
Stock '01 shortblock
And my car is a freak of nature and has a 6400rpm fuel cut.
As for the AFC, the MY00 RS's are known for learning around it. I have an AFC-II but have never bothered to install it. The ITC would just be an experiment. Everyone says that the stock ECU can't advance timing enough up top. If I can advance the timing a bit, I may be able to eek out a little more power, and correct me if I'm wrong, but longer burn based on advanced timing, may lean me out a bit...
