You need one to protect the engine on the track. The more power you add, the more you need one.
Makes no power itself.

It doesn't make power, but an oil cooler is highly recommended if you use that power.
Yeah got off topic.
No injectors needed.
Buy ace-header/e85 tune for most gains.

Well, I just need my pulleys and s good tune at this point. Lol a food intake manifold and throttle body that doesn't break the bank will be around sooner then later.

Don't bother with the TB either.

The stock TB is really big already for the engine size and power levels you're looking at making N/A, upgrading will do nothing but cost you money. Skip the radiator too, even some FI cars don't need a bigger rad.

If it were my money, I'd get the header (ace or nameless if you don't need a cat, JDL EL if you do), full exhaust, oil cooler, and a tune. Pullies aren't going to make a big difference IMO.

You're going to have a REALLY hard time breaking ~210whp unless you go higher compression, different cams, etc.

If your end goal is also to be either turbo or supercharged, keep that in mind when buying parts. Will the header you buy fit with the supercharger, or if going turbo will you be able to sell it to recoup some cost later on? You also have to keep in mind that pullies, tune and header will give you a REALLY hard time getting warranty work done if something does go wrong with the engine.

You can throw tons of money at a NA build but the reality is you need three things to make ~95-98% of highest claimed power while NA.

#1: Catless headers - Choose whatever brand floats your boat, they all are pretty close.
#2: Tune - Ecutek/OFT both are fine and both have their merits
#3: E85

You can get an OFH and OTF for around $1000 and you'll get close, if not right at 200hp on E85.

The next $5-6k you spend on NA power mods will get you the next 5-10 HP. Header back exhausts are crazy expensive for insignificant gains. Intakes are usually more trouble than they are worth. Pully's are crazy expensive for what you get (little to no HP).

OR

you can spend that $5-6k on forced induction and get substantial gains.

TL/DR save your money for that supercharger/turbo
