Yea, thats right. It's a Cometic 2.5mm head gasket (I believe that's where BoostLogic gets their gaskets from).

stock bottom end, stock head (stock longblock). I'm still debating whether or not I should "upgrade" to a GTE style plenum.

Do you guys think it's necessary/worth it?

I'd PM Josh@FSM (TheQuickness on SupraForums) and talk to him about it. There are people making a lot of power on the stock intake manifold, I'd get his opinion on what point you should upgrade (he makes/sells his own).

That depends on the cost and the gain that you'll have. I'm not sure how good the GTE plenum is with the air flow, but I'd rather turn up the boost and keep the stock. Also, if you compare the same boost and the tq or hp that the GTE guys are having with your set up, and if you're having the same power, then that means the GTE plenum isn't better.

Megan Racing. I have NO complaints- and would reccomend these to anyone that wants to lower their car with coilovers. There is still a LOT more room to lower the car (front and rear).

32 way adjustable- it's height AND dampening adjustable as well. Easy to install, easy to adjust.

Right now I have set to 16 (right in the middle). It rides as smooth as it did when I bought the car (100% stock at the time). When I set it to the stiffest setting, it rides nice and firm/stiff; but definately not bouncy by any means.

aliga- you can't stand piggybacks, eh? I'm not sure if it's worth going standalone on a daily driven car, the MAP ECU seems to be working fine so far..

Thanks for the info regarding the GTE plenum . I'll look into it

Definitely no need for a TT style plenum for the power you're making at this point. The money and time could be better spent elsewhere.
