If you look at an engine bay with no accessories and only a motor for 3 hours eating pizza your bound to come up with a creative way to make sure you dont have to sell the turbos you bought because they are too big. We just looked at the engine bay for hours trying to design this setup, and it came out great! My hat goes off to my boys at Transmission Physicians.

That means a lot coming from the Ohio Boys! I'm just trying to get within a second of you guys!
When will I be lifting my heads and pushing water on my setup?
I have the upgraded L19 studs on ET240cc heads on my 408 iron block. I went with a little higher compression, 9:1... Im hoping she can hold enough to get me 8s without any issues regarding lifting the heads. Any help would be appreciated!

Looking at your radiator...where do you plan on returning the steam ports from the heads? I would advise getting another crossover tube for the rear ports or running the LS1 "I" shaped tube. If it will fit under that intake. If you make an expansion tank like the one on my TA. You don't have to worry bout pushing the water out. It just pushes the steam.
I don't think you'll have any trouble running in the high 8's without pushing... Tune will have a lot to do with that though. But if your going to want to stay within a second of us your going to have to lean on it a little harder.
Hope to see it in person the week we'll be in FL in October.

I would say at least half of it has to be mounted higher than the steam ports on the heads. I have -4 lines coming off each steam port. A -10 coming off the bottom of it to fill into the radiator. And a -6 overflow coming off under the radiator cap. This is the best pic I have of it installed on the car.

TrakDay, no problem...
Still working on it... We got the wrong fuel fittings 3 different times and just got a set of the wrong fitting to make our steam ports for the heads! The motor comes out next week to tap the oil pan and run the brake lines. After that we should be starting it within a week or 2. Then I will be out getting times. I'm hoping for 8.5s when its all done though!
No particular number... Just whatever it takes to squeeze out the times I want the car to run! I tried to build a very efficient setup and take extra precautions wherever I could. I'm hoping the big heads and bigger cubed motor will allow for less boost psi paired with making big HP.
