You want to be in the top 10 of what? I don't know how you would gauge that, but in my book I am always #1! :P

Haha anyways, some pointers. ACT doesn't make clutches for us. Your choices are South Bend, Spec, and Clutch Masters. May be others but I don't know.

That front mount is fucking huge. It will be too tall unless you plan on cutting out a good section of your front bumper cover to expose it.

Is that injector size a number you just threw out there or something you calculated based on your goals and fuel needs?

Don't forget ARP head studs too.

Otherwise looks good. But lists are easy to make. Actually following through on it is a little harder
