you dont need rear pads just get a good set of fronts like some hawk hp+ or ferodo's or porterfield r4s
DONT get the forge dv i hated it personaly because it flutters all the time. get an evo ix dv they work great and mine holds 24 psi easily i dont know why you would need an aftermarket dv i think you can get the ix ones for like $90 used
fuel pump is good
dyno tune is good
so
mbc $80
hp+ front pads $145
ix dv $90
walbro $110
tune $250
so hopefully you take my advice and save yourself $90!

Ok don't listen to this guy...first of all, it has been documented that the stock plastic DV on the 8s leaks boost under stock like conditions....second, how the heck do you know if he needs to replace his pads? The hawks are quite good, and don't leave the same amount of dust that the stockers do. third, and this one gets me all the time (hope Warr can chime in on this) a rear sway by by itself isn't that great. You can more than make up for the handling characteristics of an aftermarket rear sway with tire pressures etc.
Please don't post responses like this unless you know what you are talking about. There is enough misinformation on this forum as it is.

DONT get headstuds either, ppl have more problems from installing aftermarket studs then from boosting high on stock studs. only get headstuds if you are planning on taking the head off dont do it the 1x1 method. with the list i gave you you should still have enough money to get say an autometer gauge with steering wheel gauge pod thats what i did. pm me if you have any questions..
and unless you are tracking your car you dont need pads and if you are tracking your car dont make the mistake i did and go with street track pads, go for the real deal and get some dtc70's or something trust me its worth it

Don't get headstuds, pads, or the walbro. get a mbc, zeitronics wideband with boost, or whatever your preference, and a tune. Walbro wouldn't hurt, your gonna need it in the future anyways, but not until your about to install cams.
