okay so I am going to be going a budget route since i am a fulltime college student....anyways I am going to be adding the following:

1. Cobra Intake
2. Thumper Heads
3. B303 Cam(Thumper recommended it for my setup)
4. I also get a double roller timing chain and gear set with the heads/cam
5. 70mm TB
6. Long Tube Headers

I am planning on uprading the fuel pump to 255 lph and getting 24 lbs injectors (is that a good match for the HCI) with matching MAF . I will pick up some new rockers to0; are FMS 1.6s a good match? Also do I need new pushrods or can I use the stock ones since its basically the stock heads going back on. Any recommendation on lifters also? Am I missing anything at all??

Thanks guys.....just trying to get in the 12s on budget.

24's are fine. Pushrods can stay. You can keep the lifters if none of them collapsed. I know your a college student, same here, so if the lifters are ok i'd say keep em. Other than that, get all your gaskets together. Let us know if you need a checklist
