Also, AP BBK, bluebat overlays, hopefully coil overs, short throw shift kit, and if i'm lucky 10's in the 1/4mile before july. I have a serious speed fetish is all i can say!
not trying to shoot your dreams down, but i dont believe you will be hitting 10's with your car, with out other supporting mods.
what will you be doing for fuel delivery. upping the boost will not help you make all the power you will need for 10's, you also need to get the fuel there to make the power.
what turbo are you gonna be spinning at 20+ PSI on pump gas? i hope its not that same medium sized turbo you are running now.
you better build your heads as well, a 10 second car needs alot of flow up top to get it through a 10 second trap time, and it needs attention as well even though our heads flow well from the factory.
also, what will you be doing about traction? what wheels and tires setup are you going to use? a LSD will be required for you to put down the power. you will also need the right suspension setup to get traction as well, but you did list that you will be getting coilovers, so thats good.
im not trying to shoot down your dreams of that 10 second altima, but ive been doing alot of research myself, and i know what it will take for you to get that car there, and i intend on doing it myself.
you also need to plan on spending alot of money on this project because it wont come cheap. with all that i listed, and more, you estimated cost will be at least a beginning price of $10k.
good luck bro. i hope you take what i said as advice, and not as if im coming off as an ***hole.
