cam yes or no?
i know ill need forged rods, push rods, turbo, oil, fuel. what else and what brands?

Cam not a necessity but nice to have and you'll already have the motor torn apart so why not.
T4 mount and turbo from Jake at Irate
SRP1 HPOP
Fuel system from Jake
I would go ahead and do springs and studs for piece of mind. All of this and some good tuning will net a good combo. You'll need to take care of your tranny for that much power as well, a stocker won't cut it.

I would give Jake a call, he is great to work with and can set you up with literally every part you need from start to finish. I personally like doing it this way so you don't forget small parts and usually vendors will give you a discount for having a bigger purchase.

You don't need a cam. Your engine wont be that far torn apart either. Strictly saying you get a forged rod motor. If you replace your PMR rods with forged, then yeah it'll be that far torn apart.

Springs, studs, 38r or t4 mount and turbo, chip with custom tunes, 250/100 or 250/200, fuel system, srp-1, and gauges. If its a manual you'll need a clutch. Automatic, get a BTS, twisted, or john woods.

What do y'all think about this turbo? I like that it's a drop in that is rated up to 600 HP I think it said

Personally I would just do a T4 mount.. With the price of that one you could get a t4 mount and a turbo and have a very wide selection of turbos if you ever wanted to change your setup.
