With that being said, I'm not sure I would ever put SS brake lines on a street car. I know guys do, that just scares me. Is this gonna be a pure track vehicle?

987 airbox is a great upgrade, as well as custom run 3" intake piping with a simple box for high flow filter.

Have you looked at exhaust setups yet? I don't know what your class rules are but if it's a track only vehicle or if you can get away with it in your state, there's a lot of weight and restriction that can be lost on the exhaust side of things.

Why not? Most brands are DOT approved for the use on street vehicles, and I have had customers put over 100K miles on them is street applications with no problems whatsoever.

Even the DOT approved lines like power stop, stop tech, and goodridge have recommended change intervals between 12-36k miles.

I think for track racing, with a good prerace inspection, there shouldn't be an issue as long as you're diligent. For a daily driver though, I certainly don't inspect my running gear before going to the grocery store.

Hah! Touche stroked. The graco turbo booster in the passenger seat really adds to the charisma of screamer pipes lol
