not much to do unless your setting up your car to go fi. you could always build the block up and go itb. IMO i'd just save for fi. thats what im doing.

Save your money... all of the thousands you will spend will get you 10hp. Best to save your money if your end goal is FI.

Gears...
Even gears won't be very good... most people swap back to stock gearing after FI. They want the higher top speed back.

EMS...
You will spend $600 in your tune which will be useless because it will be N/A. So unless you want to spend another $600 for an FI tune...

Take it from someone who spent thousands of dollars for 10hp.

If you have an itchin to spend money in preparation for FI... my advice to you would be to get a good set of upgraded brakes (no need for BBK... just decent pads), and an even better set of coilovers. You will need those for FI.
