I own a ap1 have driven ap2's and the cr and my favorite by far is the ap1. The extra revs allow you to stay in gear a considerable amount longer than in the ap2. Personally, the ap2 looks better and rides smoother but the ap1 is more of a drivers car. I have driven both and love the ap1 (plus i pulled two cars on a MY06 )

I like my AP1 better though. 9k is appealing as a hell to me.
I guess it makes for a very comforting and satisfying roar while being smoked!!!

To help u make up your mind in making your decision I highlighted this quote of yours as an example of why I am suggesting the choice I made... which is Ap1.

Ap1 has 9k redline and you want a screamer.
Ap2 has 8200k redline(yes I said 8200k...Fuel cutoff for ap1 is 9k and fuel cutoff for ap2 is 8200k)...not as much of a screamer as the ap1 but still fun imo.
Ap2's are known to put down a couple more whp than Ap1's but are still rated at the same hp output(I said hp output...not tq output, and I know that the tq went up from 153 lb. to 162 lb.).

But you want a screamer so your choice would be ap1 since it redlines just a little higher than the ap2.

Boost(supercharger or turbo, your choice) is recommended in your situation coming from an already boosted s13. Good luck
Technically, wouldn't the 8200K redline be the much, much, much louder screamer? 9K would seem whisper-quiet!

If you want to get technical, the AP1 actually cuts out at 8900 rpm.

Imo the best is an AP2 with a slightly higher redline. You can do that with a reflash or AP1 ecu.
