I definitely have thought about nitrous, and have read FredTT's entire post on nitrous specific to our cars. Before about a week ago, I had no clue about it but have done some research and I feel that it is safe with all the commodities and most likely sticking to a 100 or 125 shot. However, that safe setup is going to be about $1100 give or take, and that just doesnt sound good when saving for a blower haha. What size primaries come stock?
@zkiller- thx for the input, maybe ill email JDM.

If are really going to go FI in the next 6 months then just hold off on the headers altogether.
If you do 1 5/8" now it would work great with the N/A but not so good for the FI (too restrictive when you are pushing boost).
If you do 1 3/4" now it will cost you on the bottom end with N/A (not enough 'scavenging' effect) but will eventually be good for FI.
For the time and expense, I think you should just hold off. In my case. headers are one of those "I can add whenever I want to strap on even more power" additions but that is coming after wheels/tires and suspension at this point.
Looks like you go about all the good $/return bolt ons. Thought about N20 to tide you over?

1 3/4 " primaries, I always new I would be FI at some point, so I got the larger diameter tubes because one day ,when I win the lottery, I will get a supercharger !!!! Until then I am adding a Zex kit so the bigger tubes will help !! I have had O2 sensor issues but just with check engine light, brenspeed disabled and now its all good.
