I think it will be great of you tune the **** out of it and dial it in. Sounds like an expensive build

don't get your hopes up and you are probably going to blow your budget out of the water like I did... twice.

i think it will go 9's no prob, u can get there with alot less than 800. i dont think u will see 800 thru a th400 and big stall, dont think a 76mm has enough air!

it will make 800 crank, but it will be hard to make 800 rwhp, ive got pretty much the same setup but smaller 3500 stall and i made 670@14 and im runnin a big s400. 76mm will flow around 100lbs/min, if the motor was smaller id say itd make it but with that many ci itll b tough. race gas meth and everything on point it may make it, but dont be dissapointed if it dont. 88mm would be a better choice on a 388ci

go with a 88. ditch the 24x and go with fast,big stuff3 or the new holley dominator. your going to need a good fuel system. 120 lb injectors and a big *** pump. we run 150 lb injectors and a aeromotive eliminator pump on 16 vdc.

LOL I will go bigger turbo, but the 24x will suffice over the bs3.
60lbers can handle and be tuned up to 1000hp and as for fuel pumps. It will have twin wahlbros and on a standard 12v system

Twin walbros yes, 60lb injectors DOUBT IT. When I made 670 it was with twin walbros and 60's and I was out of fuel. But 60's will get u into the 9's but DOUBT 800 thru a th400 and big stall. Go with 80's minimum. And 24x is fine for your goals, but if u have the cash fast or bs3 is the way to go
