Looks good, might want to re-enforce those headers if they are SSautochrome

That TPIS intake should work real good for what he's doing, the short runners on it work great up to around 6500RPM (more with port work), they just don't offer a bunch down low the way a stock TPI does. With a small a/r on the turbines it should spool up OK, but they are the big side for that application. In the picture it looks like the headers were setup for a T3, I'm assuming that your swapping that out for a T4 flange. With the Fast Burn heads it should make some power. Are you going to be driving it on the street? If so think real hard about the 8.5 compression, with it down that low it might be tuff to drive on the street. In the past we've had problems with boosted cars loading up and not driving well on the street.

yeah im choping the headers apart there done right now just not in the pic. the heads are ported to hell with 202 160's and the intake is matching as well plus im planing on having a cam made for it i dont think ill have a problem with loading up im running a AEM ems computer in it and it has a 6 speed.
the .68 i think will spool fine

by the way im trying to make it to 1000hp or as close to it as i can on pump gas so i kinda need 8.5-1 compression
