Definately looks like a strong setup, im going through the same thing myself. The suspension and Tranny has already been done, engine is out (LS2 block) waiting on the Turbo kit to show up along with Fuel upgade along with new Cam, Rings, Crank, rods, etc. Do you think the Stage 3 ETP heads are the best? do you know anything about RHS Heads? I guess there a rebuilt ETP head from what I have been told? This is what the guy that is building my car suggests for good FI heads. Also what are the specs of the cam that you are going to be running? Are you going to be keeping your Air Conditioning? I will be running a S-85 Turbo. I ask this because your setup looks really similar to what I am doing. With that compression, how much boost do you plan on running? Do you plan on running on pump gas? How much rwhp are you going for?

guys at ETP said those stage 3 heads are pefectly fine, sorry i dont know anything about the RHS heads . The only thing i know about the cam specs is the duration i can find out everything else though just been real busy trying to get everything worked out and managing parts and money lol. I will be taking the A/C out not because i have to but because i never use it lol. Going to shoot for 800+ on pump and see if i can hit that special 1000 number on race gas

Force Fed Fabrications is owned by Tiago, to my knowledge he doesnt make that single kit anymore, the kit i bought was the one off his own car that made 600+ on a stock cubed/heads/cam motor before he went with the twin setup. I can PM a link to his site if you want cause i forget if he's a sponser. Its a real nice kit should make some good power. He has pics of the single kit on his page.

That setup looks definately capable of hitting 800rwhp on pump gas. Must be nice not having to have AC, it is a must where I am at, but thanks to a good OFI Turbo kit, it will allow me to keep it. Keep us posted on the build and look forward to pics.

If your not running bs3 or a convertor box, biggest inj's you can run from what I know is 75#ers, which is what im running right now. I was at 89% DC on my 101 oct setting and made 933 rwhp, so unless you dont care about having a higher duty cycle, chances are you wont make that power due to lack of fuel.

Oh god pretty much everything, but i am pretty sure you have to call them and tell them what you plan on doing and they can put together a complete kit. The tank, all the lines, hoses, a magnafueler(i think thats what its called) 2000hp pump, all the fittings, injectors, relays, converter box etc... the guys at Nasty really did a good job putting together a complete kit, i salute them on a job well done

As for the Cam i havent found out the lift yet its a 238/238 on a 115+4 i just have been busy sorry i didnt forget though, i will try and find out wed/thur cause thats when i have off from work. Yea i know, i have weird work days lol.

was wondering why you were ditching the F1 set up.

Now we know now.

looks like you're going towards a race car now that is streetable. why not try the 4l80e and have overdrive?
at the cost you're spending its only a couple grand more, what's money right?

Its not really an option at this point to change transmissions again. Everything I got is going into the Stenod TT build. Maybe down the road I will get a new tranny, but for around town driving the th400 works out just fine for me!
