Introduction/Random Questions - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hello Everyone! My name is Tyler I'm from Tucson,AZ. I bought my 2014 BRZ in Dec 2013, and after a year of having it, lets just say I didn't drive it much. I was able to put 1500 Miles on to this day lol. Reason being was, the car was a tease. So I drove it for the first year and had no mods done to it, but everyone tried to race me and obviously I can't even out run a dodge caravan lol so it was discouraging at first

I'm new to the forum world as well as the car world (I'm a Offroad truck guy). I don't know to much but have been using this forum as a guide throughout the year to decide on which parts to purchase.

So on my 1 year anniversary as well as my 25th Birthday (Dec 3rd) I decided it was time to finally start the modding process! I had saved up money after I purchased my first house

in August and buying the GF her materialistic crap lol. So this is what I have so far installed....

Tomei Type 80 cataback exhaust, Perrin Overpipe, Invidia catless non-resonated front pipe, Skunk2 EL header, and Perrin inlet hose.

This is what parts I have purchased but don't have installed yet...
Kraftwerks c38 supercharger kit black edition, Kraftwerks Oil cooler, Deatschwerks 550cc Fuel Injectors, Kartboy throw shifter, radium dual catch cans, ACT XT Street Clutch Kit Lightweight, and other random cosmetic parts.

My Ultimate goal for this car is to get over 400Whp but still want a reliable vehicle. going to run 91oct for a while until I can save up some money for a flex fuel kit. Maybe visconti? E85 is not available everywhere here just a few locations. I apologize in advance if I asked a question that has been already answered on a previous thread. I'm a noob.

so here are some of my questions but before everyone jumps at me about researching, I did but didn't get a definite answer on some.

Is there anything else I should purchase in order to keep my car from blowing up?
1. Should I purchase a upgraded fuel pump?
2. Do I need bigger fuel Injectors than the 550cc I already purchased?
3. Will Enkei Raijins 18x9.5 front/rear with MPSS 255 front/rear have fitment issues if I put on skunk2 coilovers? I want to keep the same rim and tire size all the way around for that meaty look and to be able to rotate them without going through tires like crazy.
4. Should I upgrade my spark plugs because I'm going supercharged?

Thank you all for your help/insight and look forward to meeting some of you soon! Happy new year!

Good Choice on the Kraftwerks C38 Kit!!

Thanks! Took a whole year to decide and im glad I waited because the c38 is newer to the market. What sold me was the design and how it its different than all the others.
