Yes I am going to get a huge tranny cooler for it. Once I get the intercooler mounted where I really want it i'll see what size cooler I can run.

The injectors are FAST 60lb, Cost was 250 through a friend of mine thats a whole saler, very easy to install on the FAST rails, yes the pcm will need a retune for them. the Gauges I have are the cobalt digital by autometer. cost on those were 130 each. I have fuel pressure and Boost. Also got those through my whole saler.

Thanks

I'm hoping its fun to drive. When you start your twins on the 454 make a build thread. I'd really like to see how it fits aswell.
