You will want to get rid of that solid tranny mount and get a poly mount or somethin or you will risk breaking thinks such as your bellhousing.
You shouldn't need the boosta pump but that kinda depends on how much boost you are running. The 255 pump should be good enough.
Definitly get a stand alone such as FAST or the AEM plug and play system.
Ugrade those torque boxes since its obvious you are going to the strip.
If you do go with the rear coil over system be sure to get the lower control arms without the spring perches. Many companies sell these.

ok kewl, and as far as the solid tranny mount, you think i should go back with my stock on? I still i got it, I do have a pretty good bellhousing but ya if its going to risk braking stuff ill change it. Maybe ill try the solid and see what it feels like but if its real hard on stuff then ill change it. Umm im deffently goingqa1 rear coil over setup.175 spring rate i think im going with. From a differnt post guy said i should go with 1 3/4 lt headers, Im going to be pushing 12-14 lb's of boost im not going to turn the motor rear hard maybe 5800 so i probably wont hit max boost.

Yea, that solid tranny mount will make it a ruff ride from what I hear and I would switch to a urethane mount for the tranny. That bell hounsing cost you some money so I wouldn't even rish breaking it. But if you are gonna see any street use I would switch. I'm not sure on the spring rates for coil overs, I'll that same question when I get mine but that sounds good. The headers will allow the engine to breathe well.

yea tko tranny would be smart but t5 should work well. what stage clutch do you have? i have almost same setup as you, as far as motor adn tranny mounts. solid is very rough on tranny, im changing out it. aluminum driveshaft and loop? i run bbk equal length headers and i like them.not sure on coil rate but make sure your bushings are good, if they arent then you will get squirly. i went with a completely different setup in the rear with my control arms and everything. you can sink money all day long into parts

Solid motor mounts at that horsepower level could also help break the block. Either run some nice urethane mounts or motor plates.

The real key to having a complete project car is not knowing what to buy next, but knowing when you're done spending money on it.
