383 high compression turbo?? so how long will a 383 with 10.5:1 compression last with a t67 turbo at 7psi. i ask because my 383 kit has pistons with 2cc reliefs. so i can only get the compression down to 10.5:1. i don't really want to buy new pistons. and what size injectors do i need to be looking at? i'm sure 42lbers won't cut it.
also the pistons have to be special made. this kit uses a 6.2" rod for some reason

How long your parts last depends on how well you build it, and how hard you beat it.
You might consider selling the rods and pistons you have now for a nice off the shelf set that better suite your application.

Depends on your intercooling setup, and your power goals. While 600rwhp might be attainable on pump gas with decent IAT's, you might end up turning it down to keep it alive, because on the street the engine will be under much more load and will run hotter.
