That is the same kit I bought.
You pretty much get everything in the kit.

Don't forget injectors. I went with 24lb's but 30's would be more then enough. Don't forget a MAF for your new injectors too.

As far as a fuel pump.Get a 255lph. A 190lph would be enough too.

Thats pretty much it.

You'll need injectors, I'd recommend 30's for this setup (you might max out 24's).

You'll also need a new maf calibrated for the injectors, I'd recommend a Pro-M (http://www.massairsystems.com/).

You'll need a fuel pump unless you want to run lean up top like me. I'd recommend a 255lph (we have a return system, so overkill isn't a bad thing). Somebody like BBK is fine I'm sure.

You'll need some miscellaneous tools, timing light, torque wrench, maybe an impact wrench, feeler gauge, balancer puller. You'll also need some RTV (red), antiseize, locktite, cam lube (the kind you put on the cam, and the kind you put in the oil), fresh oil/filter, fresh coolant (2 gallons antifreeze, 2 gallons water).

Yes, you will probably need a 3/8in spacer.

you will also need the elbow to make the correct bend for the throttle body (unless you are switching to the fox setup). as far as a spacer goes, that depends on a number of things. valve cover choice for starters. just to give you an example, i have the afm chrom covers on mine. i needed a 3/8" spacer to clear my gt40 intake. when i switched to the performer rpm, i didnt need a spacer at all. if you tell us which valve covers and intake you are going with we can better answer that question. also, drop me a PM. i have a set of 30lb injectors that i need to get rid of ASAP. as far as a fuel pump goes, i would go with the 255. the fuel system returns so there is no reason not to go with the bigger one. it will save you plenty of work later if you decide to go with a power adder or nitrous.

I see from your signature that you have headers. Here's just a though (since I'm spending your money here). If you have shorty headers, think about LT headers now.

Yes, it would require a new mid pipe too - so you are looking at some cash to do LT. But there will never be an easier time to drop in LT headers. With the heads off, you can literally drop both sides in from the top - no problem. And with that setup, you will be set to take full advantage of the LT's.

Just wanted to make sure you give it some thought, because this really is the ideal time to do it, and you will kick yourself if you later decide to go LT.

(I did an HCI build up this summer, and went LT at the same time.)

- One other thing you may need, an EGR solution and a programmer/chip. When you do a new intake/spacer, the stock EGR fitting won't always fit.

700 bucks for everuthing. fuel pump and stuff.

as far as the programmer chip wont the dyno tune take care of that?

i would get long tube headers but i go to nogales alot and my xpipe is a scratched up already. i dont want my lt to break or something
