look like you are good to go and will have no problem hitting 380'ish on a 7psi setup.
also u might not need a new clutch. depends on how u drive. I think the stock one is good till 350trq. and mine is fine I got around 340trq.
headers shold be first

That sounds good. I was hoping the stock clutch sould last for a while so I can recoup from these purchases.

In order to not have your fuel pressure skyrocket, you have to drill the Walbro and siphon in the fuel tank. Someone made a thread about it long ago. Just do a search.

1. Vortech (used so I guess I'll have to deal with missing parts and whatnot).
2. Utec.
3. Zeitronix with map sensor and EGT sensor.
4. One step colder spark plugs.
5. 440cc RC injectors.
6. Walbro 255lph.
7. APS oil pan.

I already have APS exhaust, RT cats, and Kinetix V5 on the car. I am thinking of doing the clutch, radiator, and headers later in that order.
You don't need anything else. When you install the Walbro and 440's you will find out what I found out after the mod.. Your fuel pressure will go up to about 80 psi at idle and during non spirited driving..Do you plan on a fuel pressure gage? To get the pressure down to normal (around 52psi) you have to do what Turbonetics recommends in there installation manual which is to do some drilling of the walbro. In addition "Phunk" say's you should also drill a hole (.070) in. in the syphon jet...I hate when people say use the search button, but I think you will have to to find out greater details on specifics. If you get MIAPLAYA to get you a copy of the Turbonetics manual you will have half the story at least what and how on the fuel pump..Good Luck

Noob to FI question: Instead of drilling the walbro cant you just use a FPR like areomotive to lower the pressure down
