Are you m6 or a4 for transmission? Should easily make 400rwhpyou with those mods. Also do an ls6 intake unless yours is a 2002 it will already have one. Good luck they are alot of fun hopped up

If you are going to tubular control arms, why not go K frame as well? If you keep the stock K might want to save the money and keep the stock lower arms too.

I feel the yella terra rockers would be more stable with a big cam .what intake will you use ?if you plan to run NOS get some 3.73 gears.you will need a better fuel pump and bigger injectors.do a nice flowing Y-pipe with a 4" I pipe .

Those heads will not accept Trex. Do it right and flycut pistons.
The biggest mistake people make is just slap a bunch of parts together and think it is going to fly.
First of all, what is your budget?
