Default Already buying stuff for this setup....

Forged 347, flatops, currently will be a nitrous engine, but swapping milled 5.3s for a set of 76cc AFRs (or All Pro / Similar), for a 9.1:1
Cam by EDC for turbo application and my cars weight, stall, use etc.
Intake will be Fast 90mm (might stay LS6 since its being FI)
Will end up installing the fuel system June/July:
-10 (maybe -8) aluminum line from tank to Adj FPR @ Billet Rails, fed by Twin 340s intank (unless I can find one nice big bastard thats reliable). 60# Motrons Injectors. Stock fuel line will be the return.
HPTuners tuning with LM-1 Wideband.
Dennys Nitrous ready DS and Billingsley Fab'd 9".
Fuddle 3800stall 2.4STR and Cmotorsports Level 2 4L60E (yep, I know it wont last so TH350 or 400 is in the plans for backup).

Now for the FI side
Looking at the Phamspeed kit, but have enough time to see what the resolution is for fans. I would like to move the Rad/Con forward and keep the stockers, but so far no dice. Thats really the only thing holding me back from this kit. Glad to see others are already all over this, and will be watching their progress.
Next Kit is a members newly jigged CAS type TT setup. Biggest thing holding me back is the kit is designed for lower power because the PITA of stuffing larger Turbo's down in the hip area of the engine bay. Everything else sounds great.
Last kit is the HP Turbo kit. Supposedly they are dyno tuning the first production run kit (used proto's jig to run one and installed it to dbl check fitment). Of course, I would need to credit back the fuel system, suspension, and whatever else. So, up in the air on this one for that.
I have asked numerous times to get pics to examine the PTK Kit as it is installed, but no replies, no pics, and other than Jose being supportive of this site, the rest of the Customer Service is lacking bigtime. I mean all I wanted was some pics of it installed and more info. (Jose you have been nothing is not supportive, Mahalo).

I dont want to be one that has the turbo and not the fuel system or something stupid like that, so thats why its one of the last items to get.

If I am missing something plz let me know, I know I need the Boost book.

I havent heard good or bad on the A1000, but have heard for the money, Weldon is the pump to get. I already have one intank, figure run a second on a Hobbs switch (boost ref).
Actually, power I would like to make around 600, more would be awesome. But I always wanted a turbo camaro, and the ET is the one thing I am not concerned with. If I can make it safely and consistently in the mid to low 10's great. If its low 11's cool. Of course I would like the system to be good for a high single digit, 9.7-9.9 but like I said I wont be bitching if it doesnt.

id say those goals are well within reach!
I was thinkin bout that A1000 fuel pump to but my twin bosch 420s seem to be doin fine w/ the speed inc fuel system and the Motron 60s went up to 844rw in mine but i think the duty cycle was at 98%
Havent seen the weldon on any sites before, any details on that?
Any way, good luck with it man!!!!!
