Mpt will update custom tunes for simple things like a CAI or cats deleting. A CAI really shouldn't require any different tuning though.

Gonna take me a Lil while to gather these final parts. I had some other more important obligations arise. Hopefully I'll get it all in the next few months.

Edit: also need wide band A/F, fuel pressure gauges
Nice work!
Why not just rubber hoses?

It does if it changes the diameter of the intake tube or relocates the MAF.

I'm pretty sure I've seen 5/8s used. I've been really busy and haven't really looked at anything for about a month. I honestly have lost track of what I need but here is what I have
Lower intake
Midplate
IC (pump, pigtail, reservoir, hard lines)
M112
Upper plenum
Accufab TB
Throttle cable bracket and cc cable
"CAI"= stock elbow, open element filter
stk 90mm maf
6# solid lower and belt
Pcv tubes
Alt bracket
Pulley bridge with idlers and tensioner
Fuel rail with 42#'s
Upper rad hose
IAT, TPS and a new thermostat

I think that is it and a total of $915 so far

Nice! Looks like we're neck & neck. I've bought more off the fb page than lr. You are a bit ahead of me on the $$ end though.

Thanks. I think I could rush it and have the cheapest L Swap but I plan on going bigger from the beginning. I still plan on porting the charger, plenum etc, efans with the H/E, LTs, alum radiator. I probably won't start buying big items again until next fall.
Still need fuel pump, hE, alt, gaskets l, throttle cable, all bolts, water pump setup, IAt ext
And need all hoses, lines, brackets and fitting to hold everything.
What am I missing?
I feel like I've forgotten everything I have researched
