Honestly? Pick a tuner and get their opinion before you start throwing parts at a car. Matt has been more than helpful so far - I'd recommend listening to him and giving him a chance to get you set up with a group of parts that are compatible and fit your needs. I've seen *way* too many piles of parts come in that aren't oriented towards a cohesive goal, and it kills drivability and reliability, with all sorts of weird compromises.

Put another way - with the amount of (valid) questions you're asking, you might be better off working with a tuner who will help you accomplish your goals then trying to figure it all out on your own. Too many people see shame in going to a shop for guidance - why not work with people who have hands-on experience with multiple setups?
