imo CX aint gonna last you that long or give you the results you're looking for. Like others have said, a better quality manifold like the tomei one will be a much better investment. You can also find a used garrett turbo for a reasonable price as well like a 2871r .86 or even a 3071/6
imo 740 would be a better choice than 550, esp if you're aiming for 350whp.
cams would help improve powerband substantially, and a good head gasket with ARP studs is also wise.
if this is your only car, i'd suggest you spend money elsewhere first, before going ka-t.
-1pc aluminum driveshaft
-upgrade the clutch and lightweight flywheel
these 2 things will free up some ponies and there aren't really any downsides to them.

This is not my only car, I make it a point to not make my toy my daily. In the summer time the car gets driven anytime I'm not going to work and school.
Yes, e85 is very available in my area. e85 is definitely something that I am very interested in. I again just don't have the knowledge on what is needed to convert the fuel system to support it and whatever else you have to do to run it.
Cams are something that I wanted to do once the car was put together and running reliably on the setup, is this stupid?
I don't necessarily want to open it up, but I probably will just based on the fact that I will be at the top of the bracket for safeness of the internals on the motor. Probably the ARP head studs, and a cometic head gasket?
The clutch is 100% getting done because its the original one from 1992, flywheel is a big possibility, and the driveshaft will happen as soon as I find a used one to be honest.
