Since i just ordered the bbk cold air kit, next will be the bbk throttle body/ plenum, then the Bassani catback. Power 1st then all others to follow....

IMO the 78mm TB is too much for N\A unless youre FI
70mm They say is plenty for N\A

But nice list, My biggest question would be why RAM and not Spec clutch?
I really dont know much about those RAM clutches why I question it.

Could you share any info comparing to two co. ?
And why you choose RAM over Spec?

Thank You

Either one is good, and better then stock, no paticular reason for the ram clutch other then, I've heard spec's customer service sux....

Nice list so far....

I went the same route as you.... If i had to do it again, it would be Nitrous, Then simple bolton's (TB, Intake, Clutch, Exhaust)

Not a fan of the new GT wheels... seen them on a new edge and just didnt look like they went right. Although its your car, Alot of people dont like things about my car.. I accecpt that, everyone has different tatse..

Still not a fast car. Scratch the tokicos, 2010 wheels and put that towards a plate kit and run a 100shot.
