    If the 3SX crank pulley is lightweight get rid of it and put a stock harmonic dampener back on it. I have ran a lightweight crank pulley before but would not recommend it. People have different opinions but I'm pretty sure it will lead to abnormal bearing wear at higher power levels.

    You'll definitely want to degree your cams, check to see how far off the fidanzas are from true zero of stock cam gears, and once you get everything degreed in to the settings you want make sure to lock down the cam gears by drilling holes and permanently locking them in place with bolts so they don't slip.

    The Spoon T-Stat is 149 degrees? Is that a typo? I thought Trevor found a cooler Mugen or Spoon T-stat. 149 is too cold. You'll be running into a lot of issues and I'm not so sure the ecu will ever go out of cold enrichment mode if it doesn't get warmer than that.

    I would ditch the turbo timer. If you don't like to drive the car easy before shutting it off or don't want to sit in the car and wait you can keep the turbo timer. I would ditch the SAFC since with the flashed ecu you won't need it. Get rid of the MSD DIS-4 and tach adapter for a HKS DLI instead. I've never had problems with 3 of them failing and it has always worked over 30 psi just fine. The MSD has a high failure rate. Google it if you don't believe me. Get rid of the MSD coils also. They don't work any better than the stock coils and have actually been tested to perform worse believe it or not than OEM. Do yourself a favor and go back to OEM. Ignition misfires are not something you want to have on DR-750s. It will keep you from making power in a hurry. I like to run copper plugs for pump and non-projected plugs for ethanol.
