Default Soon to be mods, any input would be nice

Ok, so I have a 2002 GT with Borla catback, Bassani X pipe (off road), BBK CAI, 70mm throttle body. As of March when Ill be gettin a check for over 11000 im going to be puttin in the Kennebell S/C package with the fuel injectors and pump, and new chip, along with a Stage 3 Spec cluth, Bassani Mid length headers, Steeda Tri Ax short throw, and some suspension mods, and finally Denso iridium spark plugs. Any suggestions on if there is anything else that NEEDS to be done with all these mods. Any input would be greatly appreciated, or thoughts. Once its all said and done, Ill definately be gettin pics up on here.

I dont know a thing about cars but if I were you I would upgrade the axles to a 31 or 33 spline and get a good set of 3.73 gears. Even better... this is what I really wanna get when I go FI.

ECTED!!!

um... you're gonna want bigger brakes. you'll have more power and more mass. You're gonna need to be able to slow down. Also, depending on your target boost/hp, you're seriously going to want to think about your engine's bottom end. You may want to set aside a couple thousand of that just in case your engine goes (or get forged parts right away while your car is in the shop anyway. While power is awesome, some suspension upgrades can help you keep it going in the right direction... There is more to fast cars than horsepower and torque numbers.

Alright thanks for the advice. To answer Fallstar01, Im gonna be sittin at 9psi which is gonna add 160hp, so Im thinking when all is said and done somewhere over 400hp. How much would it cost to get forged interiors, and what.

Forged INTERNALS will run you about 1300 dollars (unless you go to a stroker kit which is more) plus installation. Install means pulling the engine.
