RS cams and better springs
Head work (port and polish, new valve seats)
Stock rods with arp rod bolts
Oil pump mods
Main bearings and rod bearings
IMS shafts
Oil thermostat
Misc Etc per stock rebuild
Chip
Clutch kit with master and slave cylinders

Phase 2
Re-gear
AASCO LWFW
Etc.

Possible Phase 3
Intake
ECU

I am not hung up at all on the extra cost for P and C and case work. Also I am going to do a re-gear within the next year or two as well.

What specific parts outside of what I list do you think are needed?

This is a street car with the stock redline to be used as our daily driver.

The big bores push a lot of air around internally, the GT3 runs the cc below atmospheric as an even better solution but needs the GT3 oil pump, special seals and a special breather valve. The RSR's also have nifty l/w tapered bore wrist pins, every gram you save in reciprocating weight is critical. If you can get the sets w/ asymmetrical wristpin o/s that is a +, I have the old symmetrical ones they are supposed to have more piston slap but I haven't noticed it, maybe if I could hear both sets side buy side it would be more obvious.

a friend has a supercharger kit on his track only 993, got to admit that it is very nice w/ a unique sound, the only problem was a spin that blew the intake off the engine, but I have seen that on n/a too.

Honest 300HP with a stock exhaust, almost 320 with a good one.

I next thought is upgrading brakes and suspension bits to handle all that power. You wanted to fall off that cliff.

Personally, I would price everything out and then ask Ken how much he is willing to part out his faux RS. You know that lump was built correctly.
