You have these and havent been tuned? Or are tuned for these already? im confused now since you said the tuner is far away and its on your list.. The tune will help more than anything

megan racing exhaust
walbro 255 fuel pump
hks intake
280 BC Cams
godspeed exhaust manifold
AMS Intercooler 3"

Did you do your turbo outlet and down pipe yet? Finish the exhaust, get a wideband, get the tune. Intake and exhaust aren't doing much good for you when the ECU is reading too much flow and trying to fix it. 5 hour drive is worth it.
Also, you have to build evenly. Too much WHP will degrade your suspension and drivetrain. The stronger your platform the higher you climb.

Get an e-tune before you drive it anymore or purchase more power bits then e-tune before you drive it again.

Not a good idea to drive it with upgraded cams and no tune.

Holy crap, are you really driving the car with all that installed and no tune or is everyone assuming? Scratch what everyone above my post said, you'll need to use that $2,500 as a down payment on a new car (or engine).
