Started my new Mild 383ci PT88 setup what should I expect? Well I just started my new mild setup last week on my C5Z06 it's:
383ci 8:8 Comp
Mild cam 226/228 588/598 116
Stock LS6 Heads / Stock intake & TB.
RSI Fuel hanger with dual DW301 Pumps.
60lbs injectors (I'm sure I need a bigger set)
Custom build single turbo kit with PT88 Turbo
3.5' downpipe.
and more & more stuff here & there.
For now I wanna max out the injectors planning to run it at 12-14psi then swap a bigger set and shoot for 900+rwhp which I believe the turbo is easily good for it !!!
hoping to dyno it next week if I can sort a slightly high temp issue while idling running around 190-200F the weather is hot this time a year around here 95+F do you guys think it's normal I'm only running Dewitt radiator with stock fans & Stock water pump.
Engine bay still needs a lot of work but I'm happy I started the car for now
How much do you think the blanket will help? Anyone knows which is the best brand and where to buy?
How much power should I expect 12-14psi on pump for now?
Don't be shy guys any comments are welcome.

Well 2 things really 1st we only have 91octane around here and meth is very hard to get so I wanted to able to run it on straight pump gas when I can on 12-14psi with our very hot weather all year.
2nd thing I found this short block locally for a great price I really wanted 9:5 comp but I also didn't want to mill the heads or run thinner gasket but who knows if the car felt lazy I may mill the heads for compression bump.

Several blanket designs out,...all kinds of options. SPACE, has a lot do with it. If you have the room...lower cost blankets seem to be thicker/bulkier...the higher dollar, for example heatsheilds stealth, or lava...much smaller more streamlined. Logically, I would think the one with more area(the bulkier one) would do a better job but,..I don't know if anyone has tested... I run lava on mine, I would highly recommend a blanket. My hood would have been melted without one. Should help your spool time, and keep temps a little more contained in my experience on these cars in similar heat(south fla).
