My thoughts on the TB and ported blower are as follows:
I was under the impression that a 103mm TB requires a ported blower snout. I have thought about porting the blower but have decided that when the time comes for significantly more boost, I’m going to jump straight to a Maggy and do the TB at the same time rather than port the stock blower. If I do the lower harmonic balancer, I do wonder if there is a mild pulley upsize I should consider doing to bump boost a tiny bit without dealing with too much heat soak. My assumption is this doesn’t exist, but I thought it was worth asking.
The reason I’m doing the cam first is that I’m doing a promotional deal where I’m essentially paying no money in labor or tuning; I wasn’t even going to cam the car initially, but when the opportunity presented itself, I couldn’t pass it up.
Does that make sense?
Also, as far as RWHP goes, I’d be happy in the 680-700 range for now. The car makes 636 right now and I truly feel it’s already damn fast, I really just want the chop and higher redline.

im in the same boat as you, however it is tempting to port.
nice parts list, mine is similar just debating on ordering the katech oil pump, c5r chain and lme billet cover. not sure if necessary.
we are very very similar. already fast, just want chop sounds, and we road course the car. my tuner for whatever reason got me in with the stage 3 btr pd cam, noting i am manual and he's a great tuner - understands i am not chasing HP #s at all right now and just want chop noises
