All vacuum lines and the 3 selonids

Looks about right. Remember to give yourself at least 15% of what you spent on all this for little odds and ends you didnt think about

I didn't see 'shifter assembly' on there - are you using a stock 2gn shifter assembly?

Also, the cables are 'the same', meaning they are the same length. The tranny ends for the SRT are different, as they both take small bushings. But, if you have regular 2gn cables, they will hook up the same.

-Dash/speedo
- boost gauge


Keep in mind you will most likely have to flash your pcm if you don't get every lick of the SKIM stuff.

Radiator is NOT a must, but is HIGHLY recommended.

If your doing Brake swap and the Body wire harness I'd look into getting the ABS setup.... (I have some spare parts from when I didn't do that :P)....

That is all I noticed so far.

Another recommendation is that you upgrade your bushings while you have everything apart.

You don't need the power steering cooler, it's the same. The lines are just different. You can make your own fuel line that goes to the fuel rail. You don't need the lower control arms. Can't really think of anything else. Oh well the fuel pump is like the radiator, not needed, but recommended.

Maybe not higher pressure but it should deliver more fuel I would swap it anyway or at least get some sort of high flow

Yeah, it's more flow I believe. However I know I'm not the only person running with a stock fuel pump. I have the pump and FPR, I just haven't bothered to swap them. It runs fine.

I gotta stay out of this board I've been looking for wrecked SRTs ever since I started reading :lol: The stock SRT injectors are quite large if we use my little magic formula:
230x0.60
4x0.80
You come up with 483cc/min and stock SRT is what like 550? so you have more than eneough fuel

You shouldnt be anywhere close to running out of fuel with the stock pump and stuff as the SRT injectors are a bit oversize for what they have to do in a stock car
