Well I am almost done with my setup and almost ready for tuning. This is my dd so reliability is a must. Lmk if I should change anything. I am shooting for 400whp. Here's my setup
Wisco 10.5 pistos
Eagle rods
Acl race bearings
Ge block guard
Stock gsr port head
Blox stage b cams
Blox retainer
Blox dual valve springs
Msd distributor cap
Msd exter coil
Msd rotor
Sk2 intake manifold
Msd 750 injectors
Peakboost ramhorn
2.5 intercooler pipping
3" down pipe
44mm tial wastegate
50mm tial bov
Blox boost controler
Garret gt3076r turbo. Duall ball bearing
28x3x8 intercooler

Let me know if I should change anything or if I'm missing anything

 

your pistons? why so high?

 

thats gonna be mad power. whats your software you plan on using?

 

Since you're talking reliability, you may want to get some lower compression pistons....just a suggestion.

 

for sure. thats what i did. i gots 8.8 or 9.1ish.

 

No that would be stupid. Leave the high compression and run on e85. As long as you don't have a retard doing your tune it will be just as reliable, and you wont have to run 20lbs of boost to make that kind of power.

 

Correct. depending upon turbocharger used. I saw no horsepower goal.

 

cause i tought the higher the compression the more power easier right?
i plan on using neptune since i already have it
I will run e85. how much boost before i can reach 400-450? and joe at locash tuning in arizona is tuning it. he has tunned plenty of cars and is the best in az
HORSEPOWER GOAL IS 400-450 since i have stock sleeves. and the turbo is a gt3076r

anyone else have some more input as i am ready to go to tunning as soon as i have money

 

e85 and 15lb should get you there

 

Well MY biggest concern would be These typically get mixed reviews.


If installed incorrectly its worse than having nothing at all. They can be trickey to install even for experienced engine builders(the classic guys dont deal with this stuff at all) and a little mis alignment or tight clearence=bad news.

 

Actually suprisingly the high compression doesn't make that much of a difference at all. Nothing dropping down to 9.0:1 and adding another pound of boost wouldn't recover. I've actually seen dynos to prove this and suprised the hell out of me to.

 

well i have my bottom end put together so i dont want to buy new pistons

 

I would use something slightly larger requiring less boost and heat, but it may change the characteristics you're looking for.

 

anyone else want to input? going to get tune in a month
