What are your overall plans?

What is your budget?

I would do some research and look at what both your current and future goals are going to be. There's quite a few of cars with similar setups to your's (hence one being my car). I love my torquer v3, but I would consider it a little more on the 'aggressive' side. Calling a vendor with your plans will get you pointed in the right direction as well.

228r. You could even go a little bigger since you have gears in the car.

Like mentioned above there is a ton of choices out there. Let us know what your looking to get out of the swap and what the primary use of the car is.

Anything from Ed Curtis.

Fill out the sheet with your current mods and what YOUR goals are. He'll reach them, and then surpass them.

Use a Crane #1449601 for your setup.

I have the 228R and it sounds crazy at idle. No low end loss here.
