There is only one cam seal and only one header.

A S2 cam seal will do nothing for you. It's a seal. Unless the stock one is leaking, there is no reason to replace it.

S2 cam gears will do nothing unless you have plans on advancing or retarding the timing.

A S2 fuel rail isn't necessary. The stock one will handle your needs, especially while you're NA.

And I hope you know coil-overs aren't an engine part.

Sounds like you should read up on how to go about building an engine before you just bling out your engine compartment with unnecessary spending.

How did you come to the conclusion that these parts will put you anywhere near 12's? I really want to know. Not because i'm trying to talk shit but because i really wanna know how these theories come about so we don't have a ton of misinformed people out there...

^^^^ was wondering the same thing.

It ran 13.9 as is and some how throwing a few Skunk2 parts at it will get you into low 12's?

upgrade the suspension, brakes, and tires.

Suspension, and brakes. Driving a car with a powerful engine that handles like a wet sponge sucks. I wouldn't put a dime into the motor until the car can handle more power, and stop well.
