What are you building the car for,drag,street,autocross? Sounds like a build but I would not buy the 85mm maf or the driveshaft. Take that money and buy some suspension,headers.

X2 on skipping the maf. I would pass on the water pump too. I would add some long tube headers and exhaust to your list. How much is the edelbrock heads your looking at?

Sounds like a pretty good plan. I would focus more on some suspension parts and tires. Have not heard much about Edelbrock heads, I'm sure they are good, but I'll bet you could get heads that perform as well, or better, for a little less. The locker will bug you if this a daily driver. They annoy me, anyway. If you are going to turbo in the future, be sure to plan your compression carefully. Personally,with a strong bottom end like that, I would bump up the compression and go with N2O and save the turbo money and tuning issues for suspension upgrades. MY opinion only!!

Good luck!
