I have a concern about what parts to purchase next for my 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula. I have a huge list of stuff.

Here is the list of items I am planning to buy. I have listed them in the order that I am going to purchase them (eventually, anyway).

Should I purchase one item before another?

Can you folks recommend any items I may have overlooked?

Thanks for the input

I would focus on CAI, headers, catback then suspension, and then the power adders.

 

I'd rearrange that list and add a few things...
Headers first
Then chassis stuff - sfcs etc.
MSD is not necessary until power adder is installed, MSD coils for lt1s have less than stellar reputations from what I've seen on this board
Brakes and clutch when needed
Throttle body and driveshaft loop are probably not necessary at all
Don't forget tires with those new wheels
That Stage 2 blower will put significant stress on your engine, a rebuild with forged internals will be in your future

 

You didn't mention anything about a rebuild. Be warned that regardless of how much boost you run a rebuild is going to happen.



As stated above I would look into the following:

CAI, Catback, Cam, Heads, Hooker Longtubes and depending on your budget a 383 stroker.
