Would the scat Pro comp I beams work for 600-700 rwhp? Also looking at luanati H beams but don't want to spend an extra 250.

I would spend the money now. You will want to turn it up at some point. Build everything to handle more than you think you want now.

I'm with the other that have posted that recommend going with the front mount instead of the twin intercoolers. Bob

We built Bob Johnson's CTS-V at the old EPP shop. LS2/402, my blower cam http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...d-Camshaft.htm, AFR 225 heads, 9.5/1, LS2 intake and F-1A at 14.4 psi. It made 809 rwhp We then swapped the intake for a FAST 92 and we lost 2 psi of boost but hp went up to 864rwhp. This engine has been together since 2009 and is still running great. Bob drive's this car on trips, he has put some miles on it. He took it to another shops dyno day and it made 900 rwhp on their DynoJet. Bob
