My HP goal when I 1st started this was 650RWHP at low boost and 800RWHP on a race tune. I've since heard from a few people that at 20psi I could easily make over 1000RWHP with this setup, but I won't even go there. 800RWHP is the most I plan on doing, but I don't know that the 60lb injectors will support it. If they do they may be running 100% duty cycle.

I test fit a few things tonight so I can start ordering AN fittings, etc for my fuel rail setup. I also picked up one polished item today as well.
I about lost my load when I picked the valve cover up today. The guy polishing them said he has over 15 hours into this one cover because the stock casting was really hard to work with. Here's that exact same valve cover in it's stock, raw form.

That's a crappy looking crossover pipe I'm using for mock up right now.
The t-stat housing is actually in the middle of some radiator hoses down low on the drivers side of the engine. No pics of it right now.

It will be a perfect fit too.
Plumbing will be done by a local turbo / speed garage. I have a Sullivan Performance Intake, plenum, and fuel rails. See next post for pics.

I didn't run an upper bracket on my conversion and 15K miles later the lower bolts broke and the alternator siezed into the SC pulley bracket. The bracket was on back order last year when alot of people were putting the swap in and still don't have the bracket. Guess i was the unlucky on.
