Well Originally was aiming for 1200flywheel, but the 3" downpipe screws me on that note, 900RWHP is probably what ill max out at before I run into backpressure issues. If It runs somewhere in the 9.50s or faster I can't really complain too much..... its a daily driver.

That's pretty much the fuel system I have but I ditched my Weldon 2025 and went to two Bosch pumps because I couldn't take how loud the Weldon was. Looks like a cool setup!

For the most part, the Up pipes are all unmodified PTK pipes, with the exception that on the turbo merge collector/flange. the Wastegate pipe was cut off and replaced with a piece of 2" polished stainless to accomodate the TIAL 60 waste gate..

so the rundown is this.. shorty header on the pass. side, 1 5/8" primaries to a 2 1/2 inch crossover that runs behind the motor, and just behind the x member under the tranny and back up to the driver's side to merge with a forward facing shorty header and into the Turbo flange. the downpipe come out the turbo and back through the drivers side (It's cramped down there next to the block!) then Ive header wrapped all of it for a more durable trouble free setup.

So many bends on the cold side piping. Good luck with the build though, should be fun when you're all done.

Very nice, but can you get that air filter into some cool air somewhere?

Im putting together something very similar, 415 cube LS3, single plane, PT88, 2 Tial 44s, 96#ers/Low Hz driver, Twin Bosch 420s in a 6 speed car.... No numbers yet, it runs all motor now, so it will be a complete documented build NA to boosted Hope to have the snail mounted this weekend and then hope for more time. May not be completely finished till after the Texas mile and the Petit Le Mans. I have a few cars Im preparing, so this gets the back burner.
