Tank goodness you included a fuel return!!!! That shop just went up a few points. If you want to get kinda crazy you could throw in a low compression head gasket set to get the compression down to 9 or 9.5 to 1. Or as an additional safegaurd you go for an Aquamist 1s and spray some methonal in the intake to seriously beef up your intake charge. Another good/cheap mod is a motordyne intake spacer w/ iso thermal kit.

Dependa on the shop. The gasket will set you back $200 or so depending on what the shop can hook you up with......the problem is ging to be installayion. That takes a number of hours and will make the whole mod cost just under $900 or so depending on the labor rates the shop charges.

Not sure what the official Aquamist site is but if you do a Google search for "Aquamist" you'll be in good shape. As for the Gasket.....I'm pretty sure Greddy makes one. A great source for parts is Projectnissan.com

I'd look into a good air/fuel ratio (AFR) guage too at the very least and maybe an exhaust gas temp (EGT) gauge.

I dont think anyone makes a thick enough gasket for our motors to lower compression. To intstall the headgasket you motor will need to be taken out as the head studs prevent the heads from being removed in the engine bay. Might as well just keep a safe tune and not run alot of boost untill you are going to rebuild the motor. You forgot the thing thats going to make the biggest difference; the timing harness if you are sticking with the emanage blue. You might want to make sure you get the FMIC for the greddy kit as it is not standard either. To go with your return fuel system youll want to get injectors otherwise its not worth getting the AAM return fuel system in the first place.
