Default Have most of my parts, but still waiting for a few

For the curious here is where I am on parts...

Arrived:
PT GT 47/88 T6
HKS Wastegate
160 lb injectors
IntakeElbows.com custom elbow
Sandblasted, coated Truck manifolds
Custom size Griffin radiator
Stainless Works flanges
Custom W2W turbo cam
ATI products !AC SFI Damper
Nick Williams 90mm TB (over at Speed Inc.)

NOT HERE:
Edelbrock single plain intake and fuel rails
All Pro cylinder heads
Griffin A2A front mount intercooler


I would have forged on if I had the cylinder heads, but All Pro is waiting on valves and retainers.

If I don't get the new intake in time I might just slap on the Beck Sheetmetal intake and see what that does. I think I will have the Edelbrock stuff pretty soon but you know how it goes.

Check out www.psj.ls1tech.com for pics of the parts I have received, including new pics of the IntakeElbow.com custom elbow.

How will the 160lb'ers act at idle and light/part throttle? Or is the car going to be pretty much race-only?

I have no idea how the 160's will idle, we'll see. My definition of bad would be that I have to change plugs after every time I cruise the car.

I'm getting ported All Pro heads, ~72cc. Comparable to an AFR 225.

what the most power someone has gotten utilizing cast iron manifolds? Do you think those will be your limiting factor power wise?

OH Boys have gone like 174mph with truck manifolds.

As you can see from my sig, I am now shooting for mid April. I want at least 2 of the 3 things I am waiting on in my possession before I will bring the car over. Converting my setup over to turbo should not take a huge amount of time since my car already has the fuel sytems and has a ton of stock stuff removed.

2001, it's my experiment. I have one friend who went 8.4 with A2A, I'd like to do a little better. If my IAT's get crazy I will post.
