Replaced the switch, now No alarm, keyless entry.keyless lock, think I just need this relay and I am all done I blew it out switching wires to try and stop continuous flashing security light.
all fuses are good.

I read on there a bad relay could make things not function or stay engaged, which would explain continuous flashing security light.

Ok been together a few months, still have to get vac lines replaced that t off of TB, and go to fpr and tranny. check engine light comes on every now and then pretty sure its the leak. Check it later, but power isn't as good as it was before head work, it gets up and goes but seems like it did it faster before. Could be vac leak also, I was in such a hurry to get it going I didn't re compression test after head install, but will do after vac line replacement.
Would you consider putting this ZZP SS304 3-inch catted downpipe on my n/a for greater sound.

downpipe won't really change your exhaust sound.

Yea I was afraid of that, would need to put a cam in right? How much you figure? I am going to by the downpipe, might as well replace timing chain and throw in a cam.:) little here and a little there. This will ALL take place after back is fully functional, still having problems after last years accident.
then after all that I am looking to do tranny swap.

Cam will definitely change your exhaust tone. smile If you're going through the effort of camming though, better be tossing a blower on top while you're at it. Like you say, I'd make sure your current setup is running like it should before you throw any more variables in the mix. Downpipe will help your car breath better, but if you're already considering camming, I would bet in a year or two you'll be wanting to upgrade to headers instead. Something to keep in mind.

As for changing the exhaust tone, swap your stock muffler for a performance one and you'll get some more sound at idle. If you're keeping your stock res, it probably won't get too droney while cruising. I'd suggest either keeping stock res or stock muffs to keep it from getting too annoyingly loud.
