Talking Tax-return Mod list

Hey guys, I've been thinking, Im not going to school this semester and recently single, so why not give myself a great late christmas, or early... Heres my mod list from tax-returns, tell me what you think, or if im missing anything.

-Diamond Forged Pistons @ stock compression
-Eagle Forged Rods
-Cometic Multi Layer Steel Head Gasket
-ARP Head Stud Kit
-SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch (I've read mixed reviews on these. Better clutch out there?)
-Install Cost for Above parts.
-Custom 3" Mandrel bent exhaust w/ Magnaflow High-Flow Cat & Muffler($400 installed)
-TWM Performance Short-Throw
-Coilovers (not sure which yet)
-Perfect Power SMT-6 Tuning Software/cable

-Crank my boost up to 15-18psi and start tuning on the road/dyno.

I plan on being at about 275-300whp/wtq. Im a bit worried about the tranny though. I have searched a lot on it, but found nothing but "its bulletproof". I hope im not missing anything cuz this could be done by the end of February.

Yup, my cars the first done by Alpine Developments. Its being finished up as we speak, dyno graphs will be out within days. If you wanna know more about the build, check out the Forced Induction section, https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...=38899&page=11
But yeah, i think i forgot Tranny Mounts. That might be a good thing to have =P

I envy you dude!!

I took last year off from university, worked 50 hrs a week. I get $2,300 back (cdn funds) which i'm more than happy with being 19. I was planning to invest it all into the pursuit, but i got suckered into a road trip from up here to bismark to salt lake city to las vegas to la and back, that trip is going to take pretty much all of it...
