FI needs fueling and lots of it. Dual intank pumps isnt worth the headaches. Dont forget at least 83lb injectors.
Ill be running 96's but even those wont be enough for high boost.
*Edit*
JP, there are things in this forum that you will read and people will suggest....The concept ive built my setups around in the past has been "Keep it Simple Stupid" It goes a long way in these builds too. Start getting and fabbing up trick stuff, (dual Intanks for example) sure it may work, but its not something id suggest to run...One big external is safer, and easier to work on if issues arise.

Here are pics of my Precision GT47-88 turbo/ truck manifold setup. Speed Inc. fabbed it all up:

My take... If you only want like ~700rwhp, I'd look into a PT88 with the T4 flange since it will be easier to package. If you really think that you will want to run mid to low 8's someday, go with a bigger T6 flanged turbo. I'm at the very beginning stages of racing my car, but I did have it set up so that I or anyone who ownes the car could upsize to a GT55-91 turbo.
I'd say if I was doing it all over again, I'd run a 370ci motor with the same turbo I have. I'd probably run ~8.5:1.

BS3 is an option since the guy that inventeded is a relative of another friend of mine. We thought about going in to buy 4-5 setups for all of our cars that are coming out in the next few months but I havent heard much talk about that lately. Everyone is tight on funds around the holidays.

PT88 with T4 flange is reportedly good for up to 1200hp. GT47-88 is reportedly good for up to 1400hp. You might want to stick (at least) with the smaller 88 with your cubes so you avoid having (a) too much backpressure at the turbo and (b) running the turbo outside of it's efficiency range. I know very little about that stuff personally but have been reading. A lot of folks running singles run into 2:1 backpressure quickly since they put too small a turbo on top of their engine combo.

I agree with you on the fuel pump, one is also easier install but two would work too. And I would go gen 7 but I'm broke this year. maybe next winter I'll swap. For now it's an injector driver with like 2 bar. no three bar for 98's. sucks but oh well it'll be only a year. and I'm gonna run some 96's also. go with the biggest turbo you can afford.
