Do you think harrop make throttle less crisp?
If throttle response is your thing then a SC kit is a good way to go, from what I've read. Makes it feel like you essentially have a larger displacement engine and there is no lag involved.

Personally I don't think the car needs FI. If you combine the effects of the FD change, lighter drive shaft, headers and a custom e85 flex fuel tune I think (for a daily driver) it will be plenty fast enough for me. Then just refine the handing further with lighter 17" wheels, stickier 215 rubber and some light bracing should make for a pretty amazing feeling car.

The twins are really sensitive to change. Just this morning I checked tyre pressure and I was 34psi all round. Pumping them back to 35psi made a noticeable change, just rolled easier and smoother + throttle response felt crisper. Normally I check pressure every two weeks, but I had only a week had gone by so might be all the speed humps? I'm finding it really enjoyable just taking it easy and making small adjustments that little by little add to and improve the car as a whole. Something like FI seems like too much of a brute forced approach to the process.
