The wish list... if only Christmas was multiple times a year

Or I was insanely rich......The wish list for me begins with UDPs... not sure if I want Roush or Steeda... heard they're basically the same.. whichever is cheaper (if you got prices under $200 let me know )
The next thing would be the TB. Yes, I know I won't get much out of it etc. But when you see the list it might make more sense.... I hope at least.
After the TB would be the cams... the FRPP ones make me well... you know that Cadillac commerical with the girl asking if your car turns you on... I think you get the idea. Everytime I would crank that key....
Then comes some FI. Probably by the time this happens, the car will be out of warranty so any and all S/C will be open (not into turboing the car... S/C is more "American" anyways haha)
After that probably time to reinforce the clutch and flywheel. I'd do that with the spec 2 package Brenspeed has.
Also after this I'd probably want to get rid of the wheelhop I'd imagine I'd have. So some Steeda trailing arms would be in the mail.
Then I'd like to put some better brakes on the car. Looking at the Baers (front and rear) available on the Shelby site. Might have to get larger rims for these, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Umm yeah... I think that does it... btw delete plates and spacers... not really sure what they do... but if I'm dreaming... why not. Couldn't hurt could they?

I think that'd put me in the realm of what 600ish rwhp? As I think I'm between 330-350 now. Waiting to get a good deal on a dyno to find out.

Oh yeah some custom tuning for everything.

Everything from the UDP to the cams I can see happening in just a matter of months... the S/C may be a bit later. So the grand total for parts would be in the vicinity of I'd guess 10k. Seems reasonable right? Then some install another couple thousand... something like 15k to finish it all right.

You're missing a lot of stuff you would want but 15000 sounds like minimum (including labor) for 600rwhp. Switching tb's is a waste of money. Not only do you not get any good gains sometimes they give losses.

You would also need to think about
- 1 peice driveshaft
- better rear axles
- upgraded fuel pump/injectors/plugs/possible fuel rails
- possibly upgraded tranny depending on how much power
- wheels with slicks or street slicks
- possible change to gears
- adjustable upper third link
- adjustable panhard bar/brace or watts link
- intercooler if it doesnt come with s/c kit
- forged internals if you're going over 475rwhp
- not sure how well those frpp cams would go with s/c
- possibly some heads
- you'd end up taking off the underdrive pulleys for the stockers once you switch to the s/c
- braided brake lines
- depending on the s/c you may need to change your cai
- lots of dyno tuning to make sure it's running safe
- whatever else i'm missing lol
