Default going with new setup

alright guys, heres what im thinking going to go with a forged LS1 block with that will be 348CI, which im still debating on 8:1 or 8:5:1 compression. its going to be Diamond pistons,carillo 6.125 rods and lunati billet crankshaft. going to have custom fuel system with all braided lines and fuel cell.. suspension is staying the same,(all BMR) going to put a Rock-On transmission 4L60E along with a 12 bolt rearend with either 3.73 or 3.91 gears, cam and drivetrain to match, pretty big cam too for FI. also going to be STS upgraded to go to about 18-20lbs of boost, along with intercooler,methanol injection,and will run 93 octane, and 110 octane on occasion. im shooting for 800rwhp with this setup, going to be street driven, MAYBE taken to the track just to see what it will put down, and not to forget, probably going to go with ALL-pro heads, with some port work done on the exhaust side.. just wanting to hear what you guys think, and if you would do stuff differently, or just general comments, thanks guys

with all the cash going into it, why not just build a front mount kit?

All that work to use an STS? Well...you're not going to the track so I guess it doesn't matter. The few extra hundred rpm's w/o boost should actually help on the street.

18-20 psi and run it with 93oct and sometimes 110oct your tuner is going to have a nightmare.

First off i dont think you are going to like that much psi with a sts kit. Also i dont think u will have room in the back for a turbo that can push that much psi.

With the gears i think u need to go with a 3:42 not a tall gear so you are not shifting all the time.
