Shipping from the US is usually pretty expensive. It might help if you explain why you're getting those specific parts. What are your plans for the car?

Try a freight forwarder for shipping.

Consider http://www.shipito.com/

Consider a possible 15% on top of purchases >$1000 factoring GST + custom fees.

If the company you purchase from can write off that the product was manufactured within the US or as a product <$1000, you may avoid GST + custom fees.

BTW all the parts you have listed above will not gain you much power at all in terms of $$$ outlay.

I highly suggest you research a bit more prior to outlaying some $$$ on mods.

(I don't intend to offend as that is not my intention, but I honestly think more research will gain more bang for buck compared to what you're prepared to spend for the above mods).

Stock na6 throttle body and intake manifold is good for at least 325wheel HP.

Been there done that.

There I just saved you $325 :mrgreen:

I do research but people will always say yes it does and no it doesnt online.
people say on a n/a setup with a bigger throttlebody and CAI thats about 10hp with tune of course
Dont worry your not being rude

Consider the bang for buck value on your suggested mods.

10HP for $1400.

Personally I would consider spending my money on other things besides gaskets and a throttle body that won't yield any gain in power, let alone the associated shipping and customs and tax duties associated with obtaining them.

If you must, a well thought out cat back exhaust and $50 replica Mania intake will yield you close to or the same power for about a 1/3 of the outlay.

The best fuel you are willing to run (e85 if you are willing)

The most compression that the fuel you choose will support.

BIG cams.

That is the path to power.

Headers, intake ecu, after that your wasting your time if your going boost.

If you want to go na next is cams
Then head work
Then built bottom end and review the headwork and cams again. At this point it would have been cheaper to add boost.

More research needed as the RB headers are the only thing on your list that I would have considered way back when I started modifying my old car.

Bigger injectors is not a "performance" part per se either, they are only needed if your car is making considerably more power hence need more fuel.
You don't just put in bigger injectors and voila!.... more power.

Was looking at cams not many to choose from cause vvt
Thought I would do injectors aswell for when I decide to turbo or wouldnt they run properly while in n/a application

you will lose power with that throttle body unless you are pushing a lot more power.
