V-10 Killer

iTrader: (22)

I've recently priced out an ATI F1 and dual intercooler setup for it. But to keep myself informed and keep my options open, I want to price out about what it would cost to turbo this setup.

Here's what I want out of the setup. Currently shooting for 700-750rwhp (Dyno Jet numbers). I want to shoot for ONLY running 93 octane. No race gas. I don't want to have to cut up the nose of my TA to let a FMIC breathe. If one works without hacking the facia, great, if not, I'll go the ATI dual IC route. I will not sacrifice my AC, this is still a car I like driving on the street. I'll consider Meth injection if necessary. I'd be open to an electronic boost controller if I find it necessary for traction issues.
Some year I might swap the 4L65E for a 4L80, but that's years out. Only one major purchase at a time.

Here's what I have:

1998 Trans Am

LS2 402
-14cc pistons
FAST 90/90 intake
Dual stage n2o kit (leaving to make room for FI)
Aeromotive A1000 fuel system
ET Performance 245 heads (59cc chambers)
FLP Level 5 4L65E w/3800 stall converter
Strange 12 bolt w/3.73 posi, and Strange HD driveshaft.

I know I'll have to lower my compression (a LOT). Either have someone re-work the chambers, or sell them for 6.0L heads.
I know I'll have to change injectors, upgrade rails, and install a boost referenced FPR.

How can I tell what size of turbo I should shoot for? About how many pounds of boost (roughly) would it take to hit this goal? Any 402/408 people out there that can tell me about what a turbo kit like this would set me back?

What else should I be considering?

Thanks for everyones time?

Talk to Jared (longrange4u) We're in the process of doing up his CETA with a rearmount PT88 and FMIC on a 408. Should be a killer combo for 900+rwhp
