that is the best laundry list ive seen. thats pretty much what i would of ordered. you have to post up a review on the new magnum trans.
btw, what is bs3 (i didn't google yet) it seems like the way to go for a turbo i guess.
what gear ratio are you going with?

and speed inc did a APS turbo kit on a 402 and with 7psi made around 700 wheel horse. but hey were at like 11:1.
idk i guess it come down to. it runs better off boost. idles better. better gas milage. sounds better (I have a 10:1 motor with 18psi, that sound bad ***)

i am very curiouse about E85,160s and the AEM driver box also. if u go that route i will be very interested in seeing how it performs. anyone else with expirience with them let us know how they are around these power levels and street driving.

I am curious to see how that wavetrack is for street driving. I am hoping they make one for the dana 60 in the future.They sound very strong and more streetable than a locker or spool. I am hoping my tru trac will be ok behind my auto but still not that confident in it.

92mm TB
yella terra 1.7 rockers
chromoly push rods.(changing to 3/8 pushrods for turbos)
motive lifters(i think that is brand)
ASP dampiner
LT1 radiator
granitelli wires
I wouldn't get these. Mine didn't work good at all on my kit.
kept frying them..so much for their 1200 degree claims.
evans water pump and few little things
---TRANY---
McLeod twin disk
TR6060 (T-56 magnum)
GM slave
Tick Master
---REAREND---
midwest 9" with 35 spline and wavetrac
---SUSPENION---
-front-
UMI kmember
UMI upper and lower a-arms
strange single adjust coil over
UMI hollow sway bar(not bought yet)
-rear-
DKT LCA
Midwest WATTS
strange coil-over conversion
UMI hollow sway bar(not bought yet)
---Fuel system---
aluminum tank
custom single 255 in tank. and 2 bosch 044 in tank
5/8" feed and return line (-10 AN)
160 or 180 lb injectors
aem high to low conversion box
(lots of thanks from lonnies)
---Turbo System---
APS turbo F-body turbo kit
with upgrade ballbearing turbos @ 65lb min
also going to add scavenger pump
---ok, i am planing around 1000 wheel horse. which if i do the number right and i say i lose 20% through drive train we are at 1200ish for fly wheel. then add in 30% more for e85 consumption. that is like 1500-1600 fuel system. i have thought about 160lb inject with like 38 base fuel pressure for easy tuning. or go to 180 for just a little bit more safe at 1000 horse. i want safe but i want drive able. i am hoping for 650-850 wheel for the street. and the 1000 plus just for track and dyno.
----let me know what you think of the build. i got a lot of money in it. but i want it to last.

I don't care about their specs or claims. on the aps kit the manifolds are so close to the wires that it cooked them right thru the supposedly 1200 degree boots. I could take pics but most of them were thrown in the garbage. It is very tight in their with our kits. Now if you ceramic coat the manifolds and exhaust housings maybe just maybe they might be ok.
Anyway if you already got them then give them a try its your money but for sure check them first if you car starts sounding like a machine gun when it goes into boost !
I thought I had tuning problems several times..my 02 readings were weird and it was the dumb burnt up wires. Heck one wire was shipped with no terminal inside the boot that goes into the plug! And it also seems hard to tell if they are on the plug again since its so tight in there and their protector sleeving makes it even worse ,not only that they are also hard to take off without them breaking apart.
Anyway sorry don't mean to start a crusade..LOL
You have sweet build there Big Bird looking forward to seeing what it will do when you have things up and running.
I am very bored now having to wait till april 1 or so to drive my car again. I hate winter!
Only consolation is driving my twin turbo TA on forza 3!
