If you're definitely going sts, you may want to make sure it will work with your SFC's. The piping can interfere with some. Also, get 60# injectors. You might get away with 42's, but why bother? Also, ditch the longtubes and go back to stock manifolds. On an sts the headers only bleed off exhaust heat.

I would also add a BOV with that t-56 I'm not sure if STS includes one with their kit.

Just look at my sig. Those are all the things "needed" not just for the STS, but any FI install. Obviously there is more you could add to the list...I just ran out of $$ to do it

You'll "need" some new valve springs, at lest 42lbs injectors, although I went 60lbs just for ***** and giggles. You need the fuel pump, a Wideband is suggested and obviously a boost gauge. Most important...get that nogga tuned.
