2) UMI phb
3) UMI lca relocation brackets
4) strano springs
5) trickflow ceramic coated intake elbow (resenator delete)
6) electric WP
7) 52mm TB
8) 1.6 RR & springs
9) 3:73 gears
10) eventually a stall down the road (which size tho?)

I agree with everything on the list except for the 52mm TB....really not necessary for a stock LT1 bolt on car....it's not going to add any noticeable difference unless you have cam/heads already.

Upgrade your valvetrain when you swap in the cam. Rocker arms AND valve springs. If you know that you're going to do a cam swap, don't waste your money on a 52mm throttle body, just get a nice 58... AS&M, Holley, TPiS.
