I hope you don't mind me undeleting this. You brought up some good points.

the real questions are about what your goals are, not just power output.
How long do you intend to keep the engine?
How many miles per year?

As long as the car is on the road honestly. Less than 10K. This will not be my DD. Even if it was I permanent work from home so I mostly drive to the gym and/or grocery to the tune of 7 miles 2-5 times a week

I considered this. I know someone who has an SR with an Enthalpy tune who can spin tires in 3rd gear but has been running it for 10 plus years.
After reading the posts in here was thinking about going with a Haltech unit

A lot of the parts discussed here are great, but from what is discussed you don't need more than a clean, proper stock internal rebuild + a good tune done right the first time. What parts you use will probably be dictated by the direction the builder wants to go, and who you use for tuning.

So you think I do not need to go the forged route?
