Get 80's. Either pully will do you fine, but will NOT work with the TVS
LSJ Performance Cams from zzp i need some advice on this one stage 2 or 3 will upgrade the valve turane for wich ever one i get
Stage 1 or 2's will do you just fine. Stage 2's WILL REQUIRE upgraded valve springs, & i'm UNSURE if the stage 1's will. If you do get cams and decide to start reving a little higher, neutral balance shafts or a balance shaft delete is recommended.
Full exhaust whuts a good one to get
whatever floats your boat man. youtube all the different brands and pick which one suits your likes the best (as far as sound quality)..
Injin intake
a lot of people have problems with these. If you're set on an Injen or you already have one then cool, that's fine. But if you have yet to order one, then get the ZZP one.
E85
YES YES YES. E85 is magic sauce
And posibley tvs but are the parts from stage 3 going to work on it
all parts will work with, except the pullies. You will have to get a new pully for the TVS. but it's only like $40 or so.. nbd
And a good tune
YES! This will make or break you, and your car, literally.

Hard to say. Too many factors. You're heading the right way though. but not to bash you or sound like an ass, but it also sounds like you need to do yourself some more research on the car and modding it. Hope I helped ya out some!

Read the stickies in this (LSJ) section. You'll pretty much get a whole road map of how to take your car. At the very least, an idea.
TStone answered all your questions very well though.

As far as an intake and exhaust, I love my ZZP 3" intake. I had the tsudo n1 rice blaster catback and that sounded like #^@. Im running a zzp catless 2.5" downpipe and a 2.5" zzp catback w/resonator and it sounds awesome. Good volume and no drone, no rasp at all. And i can pop flames lol

- Stage 1 cams require valve springs (I suggest Supertech springs). They have the same lift as the Stage 2 cams, but a little less duration. I just installed Stage 1 cams on my car. If you are sticking with the M62, I would go with Stage 1 or Stage 2 cams.
- Def get a full exhaust. One of the biggest bangs for your buck.
- Injen intakes do not cause issues.... although, it is not the best choice for our cars. The stock intake w/ modfied airbox and high flow filter can/will match most if not all the aftermarket shinny pipes out there. Trust me.
- Lastly, a good tune is key.

Never sold my springs.... I backed out of the sale.
I was going back and forth with selling due to needing extra money for some down payments for the wedding, but made out ok in the end.
I have everything installed. Just waiting on my cam bolts (which are arriving today).
I should have her up and running later this afternoon
I'll keep u posted.
