Sounds good dude, you're almost there! Shooting for 700+RWHP I see... What are you going to do as far as the transmission/driveline?

That still sounds like too steep of a gear for 800rwhp...

Looks good, I was wondering if you where still on this project. Last time I talked to you about it was 2 years ago but i know how getting part together takes forever. Make a support bracket for the turbo to avoid cracking the cross over once it's in the car. I would run a higher gear out back. What gas are you going to use? depending on the gas you use it will limit you to your 800rwhp goal. If this is your weekend car, I would use some e85. Are you staying maf or going speed density?

Did you do the piping yourself ? I'm doing a turbo 4.8 and I'm going to need some piping done similar to yours(I want my turbo to set more on the driver's side).

Here's some input for you:

youre going to be limited to a 4" DP going through the k-member.
The pro-flo XT will require you to remove your windshield wipers.
You definitely need to make a support bracket, if you dont, you will break those flex couplers after a while
you'll probably need to make a custom upper radiator hose out of stainless steel
i would reccommend a 3.50 or numerically lower gear ratio. I have 3.50's now but i think im going to use a 3.23
if youre planning on 800rwhp on pump, i would do a meth kit to be safe.
also, that setup looks like it wont work with your sway bar, you might want to double check if you want to keep it.

Knew about the cutting for the Xt i have already removed wipers, as for the gears Im stilling holding off til the motors back in and everything is good there but 342 or 350 will be there ratio im gonna go with. Bracing the turbo and fabbing everything in front is my main concern right now.
