Need some opinions on my build
okay guys well bout to go on deployment and first things first i need a car (my 99 TA was stolen bout a month ago) which im sold on buying a 98-02 WS6 looking to spend somewhere between 9-12K on the car. Some details on what I want. Car to be bone stock, 6 speed with average mileage (lower of course better but ill take what i can get). My goal is to make solid power for a relatively cheap price, for now I would like to make close to 500rwhp and make it a mainly weekend car. Here is a list of things i would like to do.
While on deployment......
Texas speed Rumbler X true dual exhaust - $425
Texas speed 3" off road Y-pipe - $130
Pacesetter ceramic coated longtubes - $370
F.A.S.T LSX 92mm throttle body - $410
LS6 intake manifold - $560
ACT street clutch (725ft/lbs) - $440
Motive performance 4.10 gears - $190
SLP lid - $90
Diablosport Programmer - $370
TOTAL - $2985
Next homeport......
F.A.S.T 60lb injector - $480
Walbro 255lph fuel pump with wiring harness - $140
MSD ignition blaster coil packs - $700
Head and cam package (w/hardened pushrods, valves, retainers) - $1500
(cam will be a MS3, will decide on the Head when i decide what if i want to do a D1SC procharger or Nitrous set up)
TOTAL - $2820
And yes I will have to replace my rearend and transmission. Not sure exactly how much a full race transmission rebuild will cost? but Moser 9" rear ends are running around $2300 and Yes i will also most likely beef up the suspension but Im not trying to get too far ahead I will try to take it one deployment and homeport at a time. So tell me what you think and any suggestions you may have.

92mm TB won't work on an LS6 intake so you'll need a FAST intake or stick with the stock TB and maybe get it ported. And stay away from Horsepower number goals, Big numbers are just big numbers, it's better to set an E.T. goal
