bad plan, your money could be spent in much better places. always remember suspension before hp and also, whats wrong with a superchager?

I know I could gain more hp with a different plan, but I'd like to have all the supporting mods ready down the road for when I do decide to boost or stroke it.

That list kinda sucks... Chassy and suspension first for sure... But even if you choose to ignore that advice your combo doesn't make any sense. Why *30lb* injectors with big MAF and TB on stock cam, intake, and heads?

I've already got some suspension, I'll be able to do a H/C/I within 3 months so if I buy these mods now I'll be in better shape for the H/C/I

not a bad list to start if going with H/C/I in 3 months but 3.73 gears would have to be first and some springs and sub frame connectors

do full exhuast and a nice suspesion setup.... that is your best bet... that way if u wanna do a h/c/i ull be able to hook and have good flow... if u want a s/c all ull need is pump injectors and regluator.... but u cant buy injectors now... a stock block couldnt run n thing bigger that 24s and thats pushing it... 30# are just way to much... u cant run them it wont work.... u can add them after u do a h/c/i but not b4
