Plugs,tstat,zzp 1.0 pcm, throttle body and spacer, 3 inch down pipe, 1.9 rockers and intercooler(needed?) and a 3.2 pulley.
I picked 13.5 seconds because I think that would be a time that the big GTP would get respect from stock Hemi's, mustangs and Subaru STi.(according to motor trend quarter mile times)
I have ordered the SD hood and air dam, just havent push send on the engine parts.
So give me your best guess. Will this be enough? (do I need the intercooler)?

Plenty of GTPs have ran mid 13s with the basic mods. CAI, PCM, U-bend delete, plugs, 180 Tstat and a 3.4" pulley. Launching is the key.

With the rockers, 3" DP, 3.2" pulley and an IC along with the others you have planned should get you into the low 13s if not better.

The cam is the one thing I will not do myself. My car only has 73 000 km on it. So I will wait and do the motor top to bottom in the future.(when its not my wifes daily driver) And at that point the turbo and tranny could be on my shopping list.
For now, I just want the $30 000 plus sport car owners to get bug eyed once in a while...hope these mods will work.

dude the cam will still be reliable it is a great way to help strengthen the motor... a turbo will give you more power but less reliablility

GTP4life...whats your take on the cam...I dont have the time do that myself and I think the installation would be $$$$. I think I should save that for a big top to bottom engine job?
whats your lowest quarter mile?
Surprise any stock expensive sport cars?
Oh and how much did your MPG hurt after all those mods( I am still going to do the mods, can not have the SD hood with out some sort of kick to the car.)

lol I found a tree in my backyard then the storm took it down... will ship whats left of the tree though make me an offer...

If you know how to the cam should not take that long and the cam install kit is less thanb 100 bucks.... the intercooler is harder work

From what I've heard, transverse FWD engines suck for cams...

I have read some engines are taken out for a Cam job and I have also read you can tilt the motor.
Still not sure about the cam.

Remove the passenger tire and fenderwell and you slide the cam right out.
