So far I am planning to do upgrades in phases. So please let me know ow if it is viable or if I am missing stuff.
1. Going to do a borla axle back exhaust
2. E85 lethal garage kit.
3. Procharger. Not sure which one yet.
4. Headers? Kooks
5. Tune. Not sure what to use on this. I am thinking hptuner mpvi3. I would imagine with these few mods it should be fairly common. I do want thr ability to custom and tweak it later after the next phase of mods.
That's it for a while until I pass my warranty period.
Phase 2 most of this at one time
1. Cam. Looking at the BTR stage 1 supercharged
2. Intake, msd atomic?
3. Heads not sure on this either port and polish and upgrade stock ones, or go with after market. I am in san antonio and go to Houston frequently so TSP and LMR are options.
4. Upgraded injectors, fuel pump? No clue if I need this or not, same with 103mm throttle body.
That's about it. I am looking for really fast street but something I am going to DD still.
Thanks in advance

My 2 cents... based on what i have read, and experienced on my car...
I do not like your phase split. Seems like alot of re-work in labor and tuning.
If you are going to do heads / cam... you really should consider a built bottom end, or at least drop in pistons to handle boost.
I also agree, if you want to take full advantage of your E / Boost combo, you'll want to plan for the proper fuel system... which would include a cam with 32% or greater fuel lobe, + a low side AUX or SMG drop in + XDI.30's... Sucks to pull everything apart later, and re-tune over and over again :(
Are you doing this yourself, or taking to a shop?
