Nice build. You should make crazy power with this setup. I did a 5.3 high CR 13.7:1 last year for my truck and it put down 499.6 HP to the wheels on a mustang loaded dyno. It was in a 2004 Silverado regular cab and ran 11.0 @123 MPH all motor. My motor would rev to the moon lol.

The only things I need are pushrods, main and rod bearings, and a few gaskets. The bearings the shop is going to decide what I need and I'll buy it from them most likely unless their prices are ridiculous. After that I just need fuel pump and hot wire kit and a tune to get up and running. Well and tires. I bought some tires though already. I got BF Goodrich KDWs 335 30 18 for the rear and I'll be getting 275 35 18 for the front. I found them cheap so these are just to get me on the road until I figure out my traction scenario as well as power level and after which I will probably invest in either Pirelli Corsa system or Nitto NT01s.

I decided to get a Walbro 450 lph fuel pump as I think that will supply all my fueling needs with e85 on a single pump, especially if I upgrade the lines as well. If needed I'll get a second pump though.

I haven't gotten the hot wire kit yet but probably racetronix standard hot wire kit for my 98 is what I am going to get. I would think the pump and the hot wire kit would be enough without having to upgrade the lines with e85 but we shall see when I get the car on a dyno. I plan on upgrading the lines regardless at some point though. For a double pump though I would definitely upgrade the lines.

98s don't have a bucket. I'll need to cut and splice a connector but pretty much yeah. For now I am keeping the system as is. I read it will support over 950 on 13.5 volts or 800 on 12 I am not sure what it would be with the hotwire kit though. I did a calculation and for my setup and found I only need a 323 lph pump but that is pushing it if I used a 340 but a 450 would give me room to grow.

Finding the correct fuel pump is hard. Vendors will tell you the Racetronix hotwire kit will not work on these larger flowing pumps and will tell you that you need aftermarket this and aftermarket that and bigger lines, etc. Hard to know what's bs and what's not.
