Track and Drag, which mods? With FI..

Hey guys, I've been trying to decide which mods I should do. I will most likely be taking my car to the track (lap times) more so than the drag strip, but wouldn't mind having drag capabilities. I am going FI, but haven't been able to decide which kit I want yet (I plan on keeping the stock block, this will just be a fun hobby so I don't want to spend every last penny I have on building the motor then going FI -- unless I blow this one ;D). I've been looking at the JWT 550bb and the greddy kits, should I be considering others or a SC? After all the fuss about the Vortechs going bad lately I strayed from going down that path. Now the actual dilemma:

Because I know I will be going Fi down the road I've been wondering which mods I can do on top of the FI? For example: mrev2 + 1/2" spacer perhaps? I was thinking about gears but then found out FI cars go with taller gears for higher speeds in each gear but slower acceleration (I tend to hope the slower acceleration is outweighed by not having to shift into 4th on the 1/4mile) -- So I stopped once again taking this mod any further because I wouldnt want taller gears without going FI first and if I got 3.9's I would just be swapping them out in a month or so so that seemed pointless.

Most will say "Suspension obviously" but I want to test out the 06 sport tuned suspension first so when I switch I will have something (track times) to compare teins or another suspension setup with. I want to see how well Infiniti did when engineering this setup and to see if the aftermarket is actually worth the investment.

Are headers useable with the mrev2, TT kits, etc or would this be a waste as well?

Are sway bars useable with a modded engine (heights wise)

I am waiting for the intimidator 3" exhaust before I get exhaust.

I'm wondering if I could be getting some stuff done while I decide which TT kit I want. Any input would be appreciated. Thx <3

P.S. I would love to improve the G's body rigidity.

MREV2 w 5/16th spacer is good

Swaybars is also good

Intimidator is good but you will lose some power until you go FI.

Headers waste of $$$ and time if you planning on going FI even in NA application there not the best HP per $$$.
