Awesome car you are building,

Talk to East Coast Super charging About the turbo's

When your spending that much money you want to talk to aomeone that installs these things nearly everyday

That way they can guide you in the right direction

Just curious here but why do you want to boost it to 700rwhp then add a 200 shot instead of just boosting to 900rwhp? Also with that much power you might find it hard to get any sort of traction with 4.10 gears. Either stick with 3.42s or go with 3.73s at most.

yeah its a work in progress I'm posting up here to get input and info then going to keep researching it i think I've pretty much ruled out the 4.10 gears. i want to run around 700HP then the nitrous for a few reasons. first off i don't plan on putting in a role cage just yet its still a daily driver so figure with around 700hp ill be alright on the track with out it for a bit. second I'm running direct port nitrous kit and i been told over and over there only good around 200 shot, also I don't want to over do it on a stock LS1 block i know the stock block with a forged rotating assembly will handle 700hp all day and on and off handle the extra power from the nitrous but i don't want to consecutively run 900 hp on the LS1 block. trying to stay safe here so with 200 shot in nitrous its only up around 900 hp for a few moments as a posed to stressing to that level all the time. also i am going to be running pump gas so i feel running around 700 hp will be much safer then 900 on my car but if need be i can hit the button and gain the power as needed. thanks for all the input and the recommendation for the shop ill defiantly give em a call when im back in the U.S. b4 i start my build

With the AEM tru boost controler you can have two boost settings. Have a low boost setting for pump gas on the street and then throw some race gas in the tank and set it to your high boost setting negating the need for the spray and saving you some money. The cut off point for a cage is 11.49 and lower or 135 or faster trap speeds and around 700rwhp should put you way past that.

Get the RSI Twin Intank fuel system for that bad boy!

Call Will@RSI

Otherwise, sounds like an insane project!
