BIG BIG BIG BIG Intercooler Also, are you going to be running some type of aftermarket computer? Like a Fast system? I don't know if I'd trust the stock computer.
And I'm with LS1noobie, I think you are definatly under estimating this car. Of course there are a lot of things we don't know about the build but it has the potential to have a 4 figure output on race gas for sure!
*edit* Damn small blocks have come a long way!

oh ya, it is also coming with a griffin intercooler as well.
i definately think it has that kind of potential, however i want to underestimate, so that way if its any higher then 700 rwhp, ill be delighted.
i dont know what the limits are also on the injectors. eventually i might upgrade to diff computer, but for now, i have to get used to 700+ RWHP compared to my previous 425...

Give Allen another call and really talk to him about staying with the stock PCM..... it will be the thing holding you back.... After spending that much $$$ on your setup whats another $2500 for a standalone computer..... plus 2 different tunes will be so easy to run..... really research it is all i have to say.

Well, i already went through all the figures, and i estimate about 6k more for injectors and computer(installed) to get the kind of power it can be maxed out at. for right now, im gonna stick with this, cause my dad is gonna kick my *** if i ask him for more

i was originally gonna get that one, but allan said the gt55 is WAY more efficient, so i decided if im spending this much, might as well make it work nicer.
i would recommend calling him up and asking him more about it, since hes the one who persuaded me into getting it in the first place. he knows all the technical questions that would need to be answered.

Wow, your set up is pretty impressive. What did you just hand FMS a check for like $10,000? Can't wait to see it when it's done.

ya, i guess they just got the injectors in today, and were still waiting for the eboost controller to come in. i left forcedinductions a message, so hopefully they will forward me a tracking number since i ordered it like 2-3 weeks ago. it said on the site it only takes 3 business days to arrive, so im wondering whats up.
everything is coming together nicely, so the final finished product should be very impressive(it better be for as much money as weve spent)

as far as specs go, i dont know them yet since its a pretty new setup.
the buildup should hopefully be done and dynoed by mid february.

damn so THAT is the car that Allan works on instead of my camaro! shesh! lol. mines been there since september, but i cant complain. he built me an entire car and i changed plans on him half way through the build. i got an aftermarket computer - Big Stuff 3. well worth the money. i hope your driveline is strong to handle this power. my power numbers will be no where near yours and i have 96 lbs injectors. i cant see making big power you want (700+ rwhp) with 1) pump gas 2) 75 # injectors. i am looking for 750 rwhp (though a big stall TH400) on race gas.

he would about have to route them under the kmember if he is keeping all that junk.
unless he is running a small downpipe
ask allen how hes going to do this.
