I just noticed your cam specs, I'm no expert on cams, but I don't think that will work that well with a turbo application. The cam I will be running is a 116 lsa, you're on a 112 lsa.

I have the STS kit with Meth and a intercooler. My motor is stock, but I do have #42 Ford Racing injectors. I am pushing about 10 PSI through it without a problem so far. My intake temps on a hot day and at full boost get down to about 90-95 at night its about 68. I did have a problem with the check valve STS just sent it to me so I will see if I am still leaking oil other than that it can sometimes scare the poop out of me. 
edit: As for the cam I would call STS and ask them i am sure it should still work better than my stock cam.

Well, the good news is if they are 6.0 liter heads, your compression ratio should be lower than stock. Unless they have really small combustion chambers. I would call Patriot and ask them. They should be able to answer that pretty easily.

I've heard of a few people running 10 psi through the stock bottom end, but unless you've got the money to get a new motor...I'm not sure if I would test it. I have 42# injectors on mine, and I was at 95% duty cycle at 8 psi. I would suggest 60#ers. Figuring I added about 175rwhp with the 8 psi kit, you could expect around the same, if not more because your heads flow better. And I was seeing a lot of valve float too. But, you're gonna need either a FMIC or a meth kit to run 8 psi or more.

On a stock bottom end I wouldnt go over 10 PSI period, If you run between 8-10 PSI you should be at or a little above 500 RWHP which isnt bad I am at 10 and I am seeing 489 on a stock motor

GoatChs, that freaked me out a little bit. I thought I was imagining that I just read that!
Phil, you also want to check to see how much HP the stock pistons can handle, if there even is a max. But I know 615 rwhp is a lot of power for a stock bottom end. Are you interested in going to a forged bottom end? Also, like we mentioned before, check on the cam, and see if that will hurt you at all. Either way you cut it, it should be a beast.

Over the winter I was contemplating building the motor or a motor since I have nitrous now. I kinda want the power there all the time rather thatn just when I am on the bottle.

I would then suggest going with the FMIC rather than the meth. Meth kind of has the same problem as NO2. When the bottle is empty, you can't run as much boost. Also, when you order the kit, make sure you order the turbo that will suit your needs now AND later. I didn't do this, and now I have to pay more to upgrade my turbo. Just plan ahead, and you'll save some dough.
