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.

It seems me and you are in same direction, i'm very very sensitive to tire pressure and i put it on 35psi and after some drift trips the tire make throttle more crisp. i really love it and i guess SC kit make a-little less crisp . i just guess and i have no real experience.
i think ITB are not awesome power makers but they make sharp throttle and i guess if intake is 10% less sharp than ITB then SC is 10% less sharp than NA intake.
my AT GT86 is 1200m above sea altitude and it has 15% less power than MT GT86 in sea altitude
