if you are set on going with the GSC S1's you don't have to do the titanium valve springs and retainers so you can save there. With the money saved from that you should look into a methanol kit...from what i've seen with your mods list +Evogreen+s1's+meth= 400whp or really damn close to it with torque exceeding that mark. Good luck though.

look into ACT xtreme clutch w/street disc. Good for about 550ft/lbs, which should be enough if you are going with the green turbo. I love my ACT combo. I had the money to go with exedy/tilton twin, but after a lot of research, Im glad I chose to go the cheaper route. The clutch drives better than stock and holds like a ****. Launching is very good, especially if you have a 2-step. Good luck with your decision. You can't go wrong with the Exedy twin either, from what I hear.

Exedy Twin HD, hands down. Try a search and ask anyone who has one. There isnt a better clutch for street/strip for our cars.

trust me, you will be pondering a turbo upgrade even after those mods. modding these cars is EXTREMELY addicting.

I would go ACT clutch and flywheel combo. Dont get me wrong I like the Exedy twin but for the price and you just want to stay around the 400 hp area the ACT will do just fine. If you plan on doing bigger hp numbers go with the exedy.

if your willing to make a trip to Vegas, I can get all those installed and Doug's Dyno here can do a good tune for a reasonable price... oh and i would stick with the stock turbo, i'm making 406 whp and 448 ft lbs on a mustang dyno, if you need more than that, then go to the green stock injectors and pump are working fine for me too

Go with a Cusco Twin Disc FTW!

Oh and if Going GREEN.. Definitely get a Meth KIT. Also, change your DROP in Filter and get a nice Intake set up and/or a Nesei UICP. Just to match ur lower... I hear you getting faster spool time.

since you have a ix, you could get you're ix turbo rebuilt by buschur to 20g lt (evogreen) spec for $995. if i'm not mistaken it is the same thing as the green. so it wouldn't cost you $1700
