Default Good parts?

Here is my current part list:

1) Hurst short-throw shifter
2) Hallitech Stinger intake system
3) B&B Bullet cat-back
4) Dynatech long-tubes and x-pipe
5) MTI stage 2E heads
6) MTI camshaft
7) Hypertech 160 degree thermostat
8) Nitto 555 Extreme Performance tires
9) Dyno tune

Sound good? With these parts, I hope to make over 400 rwhp and run 11s in the 1/4.

I estimate I'll cost me around $6,000 total (parts, shipping, installation).

As usual, is there anything you would change, add, remove, etc.?

Blackwing will get your the same HP and save your some $
3) B&B Bullet cat-back
I like Borla Stingers, but it probably doesnt matter much
4) Dynatech long-tubes and x-pipe
What sze are these?
5) MTI stage 2E heads
6) MTI camshaft
Need specs... go big or go home
7) Hypertech 160 degree thermostat
8) Nitto 555 Extreme Performance tires
I would try BFG Drag raidals or ET Streets. Nittos are a little too hard IMO
9) Dyno tune
You will eventually need a clutch, slave, and flywheel

Probably an output shaft too with the Drag Radials.
