Lightbulb Bolt-on's

My SS has a K&N FIPK and a GMMG and I'm thinking of throwing some bolt-on's on around tax time. My list so far is:
1 7/8 TSP LT's, TSP catted-y, poly motor mounts, BMR LCA relocation brackets (I already have boxed LCA's), UMI sfc's, LS6 intake, a spec 3, and a dyno tune from RPM of Garner, NC. I'm hoping for 360rwhp or so. Other than an electric water pump, is there anything I missed? Also, I'm not wasting money on gears for my stock 10 bolt.

If you want every bolt on you can get then maybe UD pulley.

Cool. I plan on the ported TB, I already have free mods, and I may pick up another smooth bellows. I had one on my TSP clear lid and it put too much strain on the lid so I sold it. I have the FIPK now so I may get another one. Thanks for the input.

i really don't think smooth bellows are worth the money in the first place, plus the strain is another downside. i'll never buy one. on a side note, i have a ported tb for sale if you want it haha.

Well I just got another smooth bellows from my friend for free and it won't hurt my FIPK because it's suspended on it's base, not locked down in it and I'm picking up a ported TB from the same guy when he goes with his FAST set up. Out of curiosity, how much for yours?

You know what I think BRO! I still wonder if the tsp's are that much better than some pacesetters? Besides the coating I love mine, but if the tsp's are better I'd look into them.

I'd just go with the flow and just see what falls in place. Might run into some really good deals on some new stuff, you never know. But then again my car is a bunch of used parts but hey it works good.

Good suggestion. I'm picking up a cam from my friend with a nice set of injectors so I'm good there. Thanks again.

the EWP is a good upgrade, little pricey but easy to install.

if you're planning a cam later on...i'd go for the FAST

was looking for around $40 for the throttle body i have

not worth much power but i would also recommend doing plugs/wires when you do headers(if you haven't done them already) since it's so unbelievably easy, you can get MSD's and NGK's for like $58 or something from ccperformance.

We didn't have any trouble with the wires, I have some also and they're great... Just the car was very tempermental to plug gaps along with having a couple bad plugs.
