Turbo setup questions

Sorry, i'm very noob at FI tech, but I'm contemplating my options.
What do you think about this setup:

LQ4 shortblock
AFR 225 72cc
STS 7>10 psi
Stealth II 224/220, .581/.581 116+0 lsa
MAC's (modified)
VIG 3200 (could restall if needed)
FLP stage 4 4L60E
3:73 rear
42lbs injectors
Racetronix 255 + harness and regulator at rail
80mm BBK TB
80mm LS6 (modified)
March pulley
BMR/SPOHN suspention

I allready have all the PURPLE stuff
Around what power would you estimate this set up??

Thanks

Does the system described make sense? like balances well?

And what would you recommend for CR, 9.0:1 or 9.5:1 ? I run 98 octane premium

Also quench Q: .040/.035/ 0r .030?
How about plugs? TR6?

Thats right you are in the UAE... been there a couple times.....
Who are you looking at to do the motor?? Be sure to at least do a set of forged rods with ARP rod bolts and a set of forged dished pistons. Shoot for 9:1 comp. Do a set of main studs and heas studs also. Look into a Meth Injection kit or a FMIC like alot of people have been doing latley..... I know Senergy now offers a FMIC kit for the STS kit. I know from your post in the Internal engine section about your cam.... it would work wat better with this turbo setup you are wanting to run.... looking good so far.

Originally I'm from Houston, so i will get either HPE, LME, MTI (TX) or APE (MI) to do the motor. Texas rock when it comes to power (I'm kinda partial).
We run 98 octane here as you well know.
Planning like 600>650rwhp on a 3150 raceweight to kick some rice ***.
So, I will have about 10>12 K$$ to spend and Turbo seems the cheapest way to go with the setup I allready have.
We are not allowed Meth over here and are only allowed 1 power adder.
I'm thinking of custom building a ADI (Air/ Dry Ice) intercooler.

Is the STS kit MAF tuned or SD?? I couldn't tell form the picks on their site.

I used to do some good fishing in Corpus.
