Hello everyone I want take some mods to my 2016 GT pp. I just want to ask you if someone want to say me his opinion about these items and maybe if they could be replace with other and wh, of course respecting every opinion. I ask it because I lived in Italy and I found a lot of videos about mods but there are just too many items to compare.. These will be just a soft tuning for adding some more hp but with no compromising the reliability (however it remains my daily). thanks all :)

- SCT tuner (or eventually a Bama or a n-gauge, I personally don't know what changes)
- JLT cai
- bbk 90mm throttle body
- '18+ intake manifold

I'm also thinking about some injectors, coils and a short shifter

You could probably skip the throttle body.
The JLT CAI is best paired with the cobra jet manifold in my opinion, but the 18+ manifold is comparable.
Good luck getting an Ngauge that’s unlocked.
SCT or RDI (I think that’s it, but I can’t remember the exact name) are really your only tuning options. Go through either lund or PBD.
You cannot use that JLT intake without the tune, your car will spudder and misfire all over the place.
If you get injectors, I would look at what’s best paired with an e85 tune.

Skip the Bama tune and stick with one of the major, reputable options.
Skip jlt cai and go +18 oem intake. Flows well while still keeping iats down.
Keep stock TB for driveability.
Go for the manifold.

The 18 manifold yes, throttle body no, sct no, jlt up to you, coils no, injectors are needed if you run a 18 manifold and want e85 tune.

yes I know that I could not use that CAI without the tune, in fact my intention was taking both. But how SCT X4 or similar tuners work? I thought that inside I have the tune for a lot of aftermarket items (for example that CAI, intake etc...) and to modify the standard parameters of the car (like a soft tune for optimization, for removing the speed limiter etc..) and also I can download by their site some other tunes like the one for more gasoline option (like the e85). Isn't it?

SCT is just the device. The actual tune you need to purchase from a tuner - it's typically matched to your exact configuration (if you want it to work well).

As Andrew mentioned, we have tons of options for tuning here at Lethal. To help with your questions, The Intake and manifold swap would be the biggest improvement with a tune from Lund or PBH. Me personally, have ran a Lund tune on my old 15 with a manifold swap and JLT and I loved the feel. Drove great all around and just fun to drive.

Adding a 1320 ported manifold, jlt, and a tune using an RTD device will get you the best results you are looking for. Let us know if we can help in any way!
