I think you'll love the vq, especially the hr. It'll put just shy of 300rwhp down typically in s13's, with intake cones and cat back. I love mine just a de though. I've seen some other guys do some odd ball starter spacing/machining to fit the starter. I probably would of spaced it also, I run a 1" hood spacer setup on mine and it's really not that bad imo. Lots of work to fit a starter haha. Good luck with your build.
Oh yeah, one of the other things we did on early LS1 swaps was lower the crossmember with shims, then you could shim the engine up and clear the starter.
