First thing to change is the clutch. If you do make 400hp or even 300 that clutch wont last long. I would get bigger injectors also. Those can be maxed out with a 50 trim. And you will save money later if you decide to use a bigger turbo. You don't need the cam gears. 2.5" intercooler piping all the way is better for your goal. 3" will decrease spool and I know two 600+hp talons with 2.5" piping. And I would use dsmlink instead of the emanage.

Get DSMlink Instead of the Greddy Emanage/MSD Ignition

Run 2.5 in ic piping all the way

Forget the cam gears and instead of getting HKS 272 combo, go a cheaper but proven route and get some BC 272's or 280's and bc valve train. That will save you some money but keep the performance gains.

As mentioned above, you may want to look into a better clutch setup.

If this is your daily driver, you may want to think about a different exhaust manifold as I have heard a lot about DNP's tubular ones craking...

Just my .02

I agree with them ^^ they make some good points. Other than that the list looks great.
