Will this combo meet my hp goals?
Will this combo meet my hp goals? Ok well to start off i am a F/I newb but me and my my car are definantly no virgins when it comes to power as you can see in my sig. Im looking for some more power as is evryone these days. Im wanting to get between 700-750rwhp and still be a reliable car. It isn't a DD, but i do drive it quite a bit. Here is a quick rundown of the set up i am wanting to run and just tell me what yall think of it. I already bought a 6.0 motor a while back and i have had it bored .030 over to make a 370 obviously so that will be my block with the stock crank that came with the motor. I want to run a PTK kit with a
t-76 upgrade turbo. I chose the PTK b/c i took a look at their kits and they seem to be the most complete kit and i can keep my a/c and not have to change out k-member. For the heads im just planning to run stock 6.0 heads. For the cam not sure yet, probaly something just a little bigger than a z06 cam. My car already has an upgraded fuel pump so thats a plus. i know i need injectors. And i already have a dynotune a/f gauge and hp tuners w/eio so the tuning won't be a problem. For the motor i have already bought some 6.125 lunati rods. And pretty soon im gonna order some diamond pistons that are -15cc and a 1.310 CH. will these work ok? So if i put the turbo kit on and have it tuned correctly and run about 13-15 psi what will the hp be? Also i will probaly end up buyin an alky kit..thanks.

I have been running a set of 6.125 rods and a set of custom Diamond pistons.... Gone 144mph so far. Hopefully I can run 20mph faster than that this year before I find the limits of the shortblock.
