I'm not one to look a 1/4 mile times personally. However I suppose its not unlikely that the SC would win. Honestly when it comes to cornering that's where the FRS shines, I could type a mountainous review of the steering feel etc but it wouldn't be news to anyone here.
Heres how you should do the mods, IMO.
Exhaust / intake (or drop in filter) / Tune - If you're going with a FA20 / Visconti tune
If you're going with a piggyback system like the unichip, you can do the mods in any order you'd like. Exhaust (header back) will give you the most gains as far as bolt ons go, for intakes you're only going to see ~6whp depending on which you go with. There's a lot of issues with Bogging / CELs with some intakes and the AFRs aren't always consistent with stock, so I'd do your homework before you chose one. There's a lot of helpful information over in the technical topics. You can also PM members who have the parts installed on their cars, that's whats helped me make a majority of my decisions. Vendors are a wealth of information too.
I haven't done a lot of research on Headers as I want to retain the cat up front, if you go with any aftermarket header on the market now, you'll require a tune to get rid of the CEL thrown by the lack of cat.
