Default Please help a newb out and fine tune my setup

I'm looking for 8#'s on this setup, being as my bottom end is stock and I want this motor to last a good while still.

Here is what I currently have:
MMS Stage II heads 2.02/1.57 w/ low compression upgrade (71cc chambers)
CAM 218/218 .561/.561 114
ASP underdrive pulley, and overdrive alternator pulley (for stereo system)

Here's my list of stuff I'm thinking about getting:

-SynergyMotorsports FMIC Kit with mondo bypass valve (already ordered)
-ATI D1SC (SC unit only)
-Custom ground cam 224/232 .575/.575 113 +2 (was reccomended)
-Racetronix Pnp Fuel Pump
-Injectors
-Pulley/tensioner setup.
-LS1 Edit

I was told that this setup could reach upwards of 600rwhp if not exceed it at 8#'s. Now I'm not exactly sure what size injectors to get, or if the racetronix pnp fuel pump would suffice. I'm also confused at to what pulley/tensioner setup to get or run. I like the SDCE 8rib setup but I'm thinkin it's probably going to be overkill in my situation. I know I'll probably have to get rid of my underdrive pulley, but should I go back to the stock pulley

I'm looking for some overall feedback on whether this is going to be a good setup. And I need some detailed feedback/help as far as fuel and pulley/tensioner setups.

Thanx
Brian

I'd consider a 114 or 115 LSA on the cam.
114 with a 224/228 maybe.

I'll look into the dual walbro 255's (I assume you mean walbro), and 60# motorons. Thanx

Why would you go with a 114, or 115 lsa? Just curious I really don't know that there's that much difference between those and the 113

If you plan to run at any NHRA or IHRA sponsored tracks, you will not want to go back to stock damper; go with SFI approved ASP or ATI, and you do not want an underdrive pulley, you will run hot.

so you reccomend an ATI damper then. gotcha... I'm not to sure what tensioner setups work with that damper. Matter of fact I'm not sure what tensioner to go with at all.

LS1 F-body ATI kit? SDCE is a must. Up at our altitudes we have to spin the **** out of our cars to make any boost, and spinning high rpms equals lots of s/c'er belt slip Ask me how I know
600rwhp in Colorado corrected or uncorrected? Don't think 600rwhp uncorrect is going to happen with that set up
SDCE kit with a 4.0 pulley in CO will get you your boost goal, with a 3.7 I was seeing 11psi here at 5600ft.
I now have a FMIC, 3.4 pulley(SDCE kit) and I see 15-16psi with no trouble.
SDCE makes a 8 rib kit for the stock dampner, and the ATI dampner if I remember correctly.

yeah the 600rwhp is corrected numbers 600rwhp uncorrected at 5800ft would be nice though

Okay so I think I'm going with the SDCE kit, and the 4.0 pulley then.

1) Cam sounds fine, save your money for fuel system upgrades

2) I'd go with 60 lb Mototrons, I see folks post that they max out the 50's pretty quick, do a search or ask around

3) Dual intake 255's or single 255 + boost a pump hotwire kit

4) I'd be ready to upgrade the tensioner

Planning on running dual Walbro GSS340's (one on a switch, until I can afford the aeromotive controller)
I'll have to skip the cam then and go with the 60lb Mototrons.

Is there anyway that these injectors will be too much and not work right?? I've read some posts where guys go down in size because their injectors were too big..

This stuff adds up quickly when you want to do it right!
