Ok so if i dont go eboost 2, what would be best right now? Yea the Tranny will be done as well with stall and cooler and what not.

TRT, so having my valvetrai ndone on this motor would be an easy swap into a new motor? So i should do cam, springs and pushrods on this one?

I don't have HPT or a tuning device so im going WBO2 to monitor and having a nice shop give me the initial tune from the get go so then i'll just monitor. one of the guages will go in an AC vent. All the guages im naming will be useful, FP is a much, trans temp is crucial so i know when its too hot i can quit rather than be oblivious. O2 to monitor all my stuff.

Right now.... t-70 turbo, DO valvetrain, either FMIC, ditch eboost 2.... what to do instead?

Thanks for the help fellas!

As long as you hook that guage to a real wide-band sensor, it will work good to monitor if you cant log. Check here for a/f gauge stuff (http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...dcategory=118). Looks like about $200 to do it.

Again, LS6 springs are cheap as hell. and you can spend $350 from a cam on fuel system parts.

All you need to control boost is a $5 ball-spring manual controller. Add some host and an extra 'T' i guess and it can be in your cab. google manual boost controller or MBC.

Dont forget to look into digital gauges too. They can be tucked away nicely (http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...ult_gauges.asp).

Hey Jonny I've got some LS6 spring I'd sell ya for cheap if you wanna start collecting parts, those and a ZO6 cam should do you just fine.

Ok cool. yea im def getting a real wideband o2 to monitor. I may go with an electronic controller jsut so i have it for future and it may be cool to have for ease of use. As for springs, i may pick those up Jeff. I may go Z06 cam too but i'd rather have something a tad bit bigger for a little lope

If you will be running 13-15psi eventually, the LS6 springs will not do, especially with more cam. Keep in mind the boost is blowing on the valve trying to open it. We have floated LS6 and 918's with 13psi.

I thought 918's did much better than that... Great, more money I gotta spend...

Checklist discussion, carry on.

lol, yea im a little confused as to what valvetrain stuff i should use right now, but focusing on the base kit..... ive decided on t-70 and either FMIC, doesnt really matter.

Fuel.... should i go do it all right now or jsut settle with injectors and pump for now?What do you guys suggest?

Boost controller..... do eboost2 now or manual?

Do the whole fuel system now. Build it for 650rw+ and KNOW it wont be a problem at 500rw. That costs money though, which is why I suggested manual boost control and no cam. You can run Cranes or Patriots with the stock cam for now...then when you have 350-400...throw in a cam. I like the idea of a sleeper anyway.

so if i did the whole fuel system right away what all would i need? Is there a package deal i could buy or would it be best to buy everything seperate? 60's (Need a bigger or 2 pumps?), rails, lines, regulator, boost a pump..... missing anything?

Got to www.gmrspeed.com
They have fuel system for high hp..likely getting that one for mine.Twin externals,rail,adjustable reg,hobbs switch..lines.Pricey but whatever.
A single pump should work for 600 rwhp level with that booster stuff
,beyond that well feel better knowing my fuel system is capable.
