Default Turbo setup questions

Ok so this is my plan tell me your thoughts opinions etc...

stock bottm end ls1
set of 317 heads
ky turbokit with 76 trim turbo
custom cam
ls6 intake manifold


So pretty much a ky turbo kit on a completely stock motor

only going to run about 6-8 pounds hopeing for 450whp or more

it will be abcked by a fresh rebuilt 4l60 with big tranny cooler and stock 10 bolt

My goal is to see what it can do and when the rear end fails get a 9 inch then wait for the tranny to go and swap to a 4l80..

I dont want to change the heads etc to something better right now jsut wanted to get your thoguhts on how well this will perform and any other misc upgrades like fuel etc that will be needed... Or tell me if you ahve a close setup and what worked better for you

Yes I looked at the fuel sticky in this sections and did a flow chart from the website that was listed and saw I would need 60lb injectors

The 340 Intank is a good setup also. Its a matter of personal choice.

ok I will look into how bad it is to go dual pump... esp because He said you can do it for only about 250 which would be great for me...

Sorry for all the questions lol but I did not see on your site do you offer the injectors seperate from your kits because you can get the kit without the injectors???
