I'm looking to buy a STi shortblock within the next couple of weeks, there are a bunch of reputable companies out there, Cobb, Axis, Gruppe-S. I know Lil Shoaf got his setup from Axis and I heard they are awesome there, from him and other forums I have searched. I am stuck, I am looking for any of the Stage 1 Shortblocks, besides Axis, I would go with their Stage 2. If anyone who has this kind of setup or knows anyone with this setup, I'd appreciate some sort of input. I plan on doing some other mods to make the block run as efficient as possible. Here is what I thought of so far:

shortblock and accessories (oil pump, water pump, timing belt, etc.)
port and polished heads
injectors (565 or 650)
oil cooler
thermostat (Crucial)
gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, egt, and wideband o2 sensor w/ gauge)
lightweight pulleys
Cobb street tuner and laptop

If there is anything I missed that is needed could you please let me know. Thanks
