Thumbs up ordered 370 from speedinc

I've been hanging out in the Forced Induction Section for a long time and I've learned a lot. with the help of black98 and speedinc, I took the plunge on my ongoing quest for a highway monster, I ordered the following:

370 LQ9 From Speed INC
-15cc Pistons, not sure what kind
not sure brand of forged connecting rods
75 or 79# injectors
another 255 walboro pump and the inline install kit
mellings oil pump
timing chain kit
vic jr with rails
6.0 head gaskets
arp studs

I still need a decent set of 6L heads, elbow for the vic jr, throttle body (unless my sotck ported and polished one works) and nice T4 turbo capable of taking my butt mount to over 700rwhp if possible

*** please keep in mind that I have no aspirations for taking this car into the 9's or 8's at the moment and it'll stay a 6 speed until i can afford to build a TH400, I just want to come across some liter bikes and supras and show them what I can do from a roll ***

You can buy the same flow rate or higher low impedance injectors and a converter box cheaper than you can those high impedance ones. I speak from experience.

So far, we have not seen any real noticeable differences between the high impedance 75# injectors and the low impedance 96# injectors with a converter box. Responsiveness is good and A/R is holding steady up the 5200 RPMs. Once the weather turns a little better here in Denver, the tune should get finished up.

good place to get your block build, speedinc did my 408 boost motor and did a great job, i was going to get the 370 to go along with the stage 1 APS kit but decided to go with the 408 and get a stage 2 APS kit or s91 either way it should still make a lot of power

A Turbonetics TC 76 or 78 turbo would be perfect for that set up IMO! Great spool and capable of 800 whp.

Im not sure whos doing it. I have a thread started in the Texas section looking for a local porter, I dont need much..... just a refresh, clean and slight port

Im trying to get one at an intake place that you normally see on the vic jr set ups. I will be re-using my 78mm ported throttle body
