Other than 1400+whp, is there a specific goal Tony? Im getting the sense your shooting for something more than a Trophy Dyno Graph lol. You might consider having the block filled completely, and definately hang on to your Nitrous systems, with a turbo that large the gas can be key to spool it

Nothing wrong with Tony's choice of computers, I just know the AEM a lot better. Not sure if his computer will do everything that turbos need.

Oh yea. Forgot. The building part is very important, no doubt (the best parts, the best fab, etc). BUT the true key to running a turbo set-up is the tuner. If your tuner isn't worth ****, that's what you get - crap. I have seen it way to many times that car either brakes or doesn't run the numbers. Whose fault is it (usually)?

Cars.... they are like women.. can't live with them and can't live without them. Money and shop issues (to damn busy) put the car on hold. Should be out this spring. Not even running and I already made a bunch of changes (super Victor, 225lb injectors, etc.) Bought a new add-on from RaceCraft.. http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?m..._image&pID=190

I think with a goal of low 8's you could set your HP goal a little lower, depending on the weight of the car.

I want to set it on kill a couple of times and run a real number! 8.0's or better. Then most of the time dial it down a little and have fun. Raceweight is 3400 right now as it sits.

The FAST XFI is fine for what you are doing. I am using a FAST classic on my turbo car. There is a guy named Ron Shearer on this forum (I think his screen name is shearer) he is a really good fabricator, and has a lot of turbo knowledge. If you can track him down it would be worth it. I wish I could have bought a system from him instead of making it myself, but it's the way it went this time. I think that there is good advice on this thread. The biggest turbo you can fit is probably the best one 
. Basically it will cost more than you want it to, but it will be worth it. If you change your mind on the block, I have a killer NIB (Dart/callies/dyers 300m rods/je pistons) short block set up that I have to sell. Losing my *** on it, but it could be just what you need, PM me if interested.
