High flow cat
MAYBE 3" exhaust from downpipe straight through. Depends on whether or not I can actually net any gains.

H2O/Methanol Injection (www.snowperformance.net)
Ram air into airbox and Willwren style SC/TB cooling.
Drivetrain:
1.8:1 roller rockers (www.yellaterra.com.au)
Reinforced valve springs
hardened keepers
manley pushrods
custom cam (Series 1 Performance)
Transmission:
Transgo 4T60-E JR kit (all options)

Looks like a great set up, do the cam specs allow for 1.8 rockers? Seems too high to me?
You may also want to add new injectors are a tune up on your old ones.
Be sure the pcm can handle your new flow rates.

I forgot to add to that list that I'm sending out injectors to those guys Willwren reccomends for flow matching, but I hadn't considered larger injectors. I'm going to send an E-Mail to the GMtuners guys about it and see what he thinks. I'm sure Mr. Wren will chime in on this too.

Where are you getting the heavy duty torque converter ?
Isn't 3.69 gear ratio a little extreme?
what size SC pulley are you running now?
and you forgot some kind of scanner for all the tuning you need to do.
Just also take note that I will be following in your foot steps with my car (but I have a much tighter budget :( ).

and if so, you will soon need bigger injectors. If a 95 is anything like a series 2?
