mini gp tuning

hi every one I drive a mini gp and it has the following list on it

alta v1 intercooler with top plate
msd ignition package
magnecor spark plug wires
ngk iridium two step colder spark plugs
alta cold air intake
alta air box top
alta short shifter with ****
alta shorty antenna
super sprint headers with cat delete pipe
invidia titanium tip cat back exhaust
alta 17 sc pulley
alta 3 crank pulley
alta oil catch can
cp 77 mm forged pistons
cometic head gasket
bosh 450cc injectors
alta tensioner stop
sprint booster
aem wideband

I will add the folloving and remove some parts

colombo bariani or schirck cam shaft
m7 16 sc pulley
m7 2 crank pulley
m7 tower brace
AEM methanol kit
and a new intercooler maybe or a coating for the alta v1
I will also add a water sprayer to the intercooler
orciari cowl scoops
m7 extreme or ram hood scoop

my concern is
1- which meth kit to choose and how to use it? it has never been done in my country and I want to try it but will it make a problem will I need a ecu map again in order to use it efficiently. I will not use it for gaining more power I will use it to lover the temperature in the combustion chamber.

2- will the std gp intercooler work better than alta v1 or after coating and water spray alta will be better.

3- I am using a custom map from superchips. do you recommend an other custom map

4- alta 17 3 was not a good combination for me so I am changing it to m7 16 2 pulleys

5- what is the safe afr range for minis after these kind of modifications mine was around 11 and 10 at full throttle.

6- do you recommend to change the thermostat to m7 from stock thermostat

7- what else can be done to this car and added to this list in order to make the car safe with these modifications

thanks

Looks like he has been spending way to much time looking at the M7 and Alta website.......

Do a little more research here, and I am sure you will find all the answers you need.
