So lets talk about my future build.
Just got my HPTuners in the mail! 
So, time to start putting money aside for my build next year.
Here is what I have so far. Pistons are a big ???? for me right now. Also. Need a good wideband. Anyone have any suggestions for this?

air to take advantage of the low CR)

Sounds like you have a well though out list, but my question is what are you going to use to make the power necessary for all these mods. A 2.8" pulley won't require that extensive mod list unless you've found a bigger blower.

Clutch. Great Idea.

don't lower the compression, if you want forged internals I'd say up the compression to 10:1, the blower shouldn't take you high enough to suffer from it and compression will probably help a lot with making power.
drop the axles and get tractions mods so that you can "appreciate" your power more...
