First of all, I'd be cautious about SD. My experience with them rebuilding my cylinder head was less than optimal. It took three months, and they said the head was flat when it wasn't. Their response to my complaint was that they avoid resurfacing the head because it reduces the compression ratio, so if it's flat they don't. Well, it wasn't flat, which is why I had to have someone else do the job again. And, my new machinist told me the valves had not been been lapped in at all. This all took them three months?
Anyway, thought I'd provide details so you'd know I had real concerns about SD.
The other thing is that you need a new LH chip. Otherwise, you run too lean.
Go with a stage II upgrade from Frank Stromqvist in Sweden. He will e-mail with you to get the info he needs. Pull out the DI ECU from under the driver's seat to get the serial #. He will need that. Then buy the 20 PSI hooter valve separately. Total cost will be not more than $400.
