I've come to a conclusion !
With that many miles (I have 112K also), if you went FI, even mild 6psi, your motor would be gone in weeks. A car that already has 11:1 compression is just not designed for FI, sure there are guys here that have been running FI on stock motors for years, but I'll bet that's not the norm.
1. Wheels/tires (good stickies)
2. Swaybars
3. Shocks (you have CO already
4. Camber kits with a good alignment from someone that understands lowered cars. (hard to find here)
5. High flow Cats/Exhaust
6. Usual round of intake mods.
If you have the tires/wheels already, you can do all the others and have money left over.

Since this is a different subforum from where we usually interact I'll be more measured in my response. However, what you posted is wrong. There are plenty of guys running stock block FI who have had thousands of trouble free miles. Its all in the tune, maintenance, not doing anything stupid, and making sure you have money in case anything comes up.

You said a lot here.
BTW, I have been on this forum since 2005, and for every story of a FI stock block doing fine, there are two to three of the "mine engine is blown" stories. Yes, you are correct, it's all in the tune and the install, but running FI is not for the faint of heart or the dis-inclined mechanically. You must constantly be on guard for engine problems. I would never FI this car unless I had a beater.

wheels/tires
Coilovers
camber kit with proper alignment(reputable shop[Sal's Auto Sport])
TDX V2 exhaust. I will get ART pipes soon after all this is sorted out
5/16 Plenum Spacer
After ART I will get a tune and call a quits for power mods(unless theres more out there that are affordable). Do you have anything else in mind besides the sway bars

keep this as the dd and buy a 240 sx and get lots of track time in. It will keep the g35 in great condition, but the track experience is something that will be with you forever, and you will have a ton of fun!
Just a suggestion, its hard to pass up that sexy exhaust note you'll get with the exhaust though.
