That seems like it would be a good setup, large bore short stroke = quick reving.

Sounds good in theory the larger bore lets the heads get full potential with unshouded valves etc... I just haven't seen any evidence of it being worth the effort with FI. seems like a good 347-8 or the 370 iron blocks are making just as good numbers with a little more boost etc... But I don't like to shoot plans down because I am not an expert just giving my thoughts and a little of my opinions on maybe just spending the extra money on a more boost etc... But who knows you could be on to something and it is definatly different I was just discussing this same thing with another board member (Kickass T/A) and it is one of those trial and error things I don't think too many people have done it if any. Good luck!

Yeah I was just thinking about a larger quicker spooling setup compared to my 347 with the PT-88.

Faster LOL! I have been contimplating doing a turbo setup from the start so I guess now I will. I will have a Goal of 750-850 rwhp I know it seems like a big range but I am just keeping an open mind and not wanting to set my expectations too high that I am disapointed etc...
