what am i missing? i'm trying to plan out everything else i need to buy, and just want to make sure that I've got everything on "the list" ao i'm not doing too much last minute scrambling.
things i've ordered:
Nasty fuel system, comes with everything except injectors
turbo kit (hi-flo)
6.0L heads (with springs)
4'' exhaust
ordering next week:
60# injectors
head gasket/head studs
gagues/pod
then after that I'll be getting my drivetrain:
clutch
driveshaft
chassis mounted T/A
rear end
I've got to be missing a few things, what else will i be needing?

What are you doing for the front end of the car (IC)?

Also, the hi-flo kits come with the FMIC and piping so that is covered.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the tuning software if you plan on tuning yourself, or just take it somewhere. If you plan on boosting past 10-12psi forged pistons and rods are a MUST although I would recommend doing them now when the heads are going on. Then if you wanna crank up the boost, you will feel more comfortable doing so. Other than that, you have all bases covered from what I can see. I'm sure misc stuff like bolts (rod,flywheel, etc), fluids (coolant, oil, etc), plugs (NGK TR-6 .035 gap), etc will come up; but we are talking the major components which you seem to have covered. Don't forget the small things since they seem to add up fairly quickly!
Good luck on your buildup, I will be right behind you this spring with the same sort of setup!

Yeah, i plan on getting tr-6 spark plugs when i buy my oil/coolant. Right now I'm planning on getting a 9'' so i can buy one of harlans new 2-steps and get some nice spool off the line and dump the clutch without worrying about a weaker 12 bolt. as for gears i was thinking something in between stock and 3.90, really haven't decided yet. I only plan on running the 7# spring this year, next year I'm getting a nice forged block and a boost controller.
After thinking about the placement of the Hi-flo intercooler i am thinking about getting a nice alkycontrol system, any thoughts on this?
also, another thing i would like to add, i was planning on getting a wideband setup as me 3rd gauge, and either hptuners or efilive to keep the tune in check during the summer (initial tune will be by dont be the pros). there is also a sunoco a short ways from my house with 100 octane, i was thinking about running that only.
also, the stock map sensor is good up to 14.7psi correct? or will i need to buy a 2bar?

Go with a stock gear, Turbos make plenty of torque no need to multiply if further. Few shifts the better, also helps you stay out of your over driver gears at the end of the track!
Definatly go 3.42's or higher (ie 3.23).

2. Get the Innovate XD-1 standalone gauge. A non-sponsor sells them fairly cheap. PM me and I will be sure to let you know where to get it. I recommend HPTuners 2.0 EIO. Easy to use and a lot of people on here us it so finding out information should be a breeze. The EIO is cool so you can log the Innovate wideband directly into the scanner software to monitor the AFR while scanning.
3. When you decide to turn up the boost you can opt to get the 2bar setup for the HPTuners. Then you will be speed density and won't have to worry about the sensor.

That's what I plan on doing.
You have any recommendations for a nice manual boost controller?

Let me know
Andy
