Heads/cam is always a safe bet. Go with a nice set of 6.0L heads if you want to run BIG boost. If not the ported stockers will do the job. Then I would suggest speaking with combination motorsports about a custom grind cam for your setup.

what kind of engine managment are you running. i would recommend a speedpro(f.a.s.t.)

what kind of power are those turbos rated for.

build the motor low compression alot more streetable and you can run alot more boost on pump gas . also a lower compression motor will make more peak power.

how much boost are you running? have you dyno tuned the car?

nothing is more important than the tuning make sure that after every mod you go back to the dyno and check your air fuels and you power output.

what mods do you have? Harlan ran around 600rwhp with a stock motor/incon. He did upgrade the fuel system some. What injectors...pump, and psi are you running? What is your hp goal at this point?

I just got the car about a month ago so i dont exactally know everything in it yet. I dyno'd it and it ran 453 hp / 4?? tq i dont have the sheet here with me. at about 5.5 psi. If i ran it any higher boost it started to lean out. I need to upgrade the fuel sys. too. what would you recomend for a good fuel system setup? It still has the stock injectors too.

I'd upgrade the fuel system first, maybe you can turn it up a bit.

Fuel is key, if you plan on touching the motor get some parts that you could use in the future on a built motor, heads/cam, etc......

I would work on the fuel first, then maybe look into some 6.0L 73cc chamber heads to lower the compression, and a nice turbo cam
