. It's not very good for turbo car, but hey what do I know 
Plus why the hell are you going to put 650's in a stock turbo car?
Unless your going to go with a turbo upgrade (for instance me going with a innovative gts-61) you should get stage 2 with toys and call it a day.
Do you have an exhaust setup yet? That would be a better place to put your money, rather then for a safc.

Re: Dyno tune
Here is the upgrade path I would suggest. It will set you up with a good base. If you decide if you want a big turbo are not first you will save yourself a lot of money and hassle.
Step -1
Decide if you want a turbo upgrade in the future.
Step 0
Get motor mounts
Step 1
Turbo up grade= 3” turbo back exhaust
Stock turbo= 2 ½ -3” cat back and 3” downpipe
Step 2 decide if you want stage 2 or not also decide if you want toys or no toys. You really don’t need stag 1 since you already have the injectors. The only thing you would gain is the WOT shifting and that is rough as shit on the drive train and actually slows you down on ¼ mile runs.
Step 3
If you went with stage 2 then you don’t need a waist gate actuator. If you did not go with stage 2 then you need one.
Step 4
If you went with stage 2 with toys you don’t need a boost controller if you did not go with stage 2 or you did not get toys you need a boost controller.
Step 5
If you did not get stage 2 then you need more fuel. A better way (all be it more expensive then the SAFC) to get more fuel is by using the Psi-fi power paq (perfect power piggyback setup for the srt-4) or the best choice is the greddy emanage.
If you want simple and reliable, but maximum performance with little hassle go with stage 2 with toys and get a water injection setup (since 100 unleaded is hard to come by around here).
If you want a good hassle free exhaust that is slightly loader then stock but not crazy load then go with the borla/mopar exhaust with a maxxfab downpipe.
