Default Building my ls/vtec turbo??

I want some opinions on this set up.. My goal is 300 to 400 hp..
Head
Supertech valve train
Blox turbo camshafts with buddy club cam gears
Blox intake mani with 68 mm throttle body
Not sure about the injectors yet??
And maybe a fuel rail I don't no how necessary they are
Bottom end
Cp or wiseco low compression pistons 9.0:1
Eagle rods
Misc.
3 inch straight back exhaust
T3/t4 turbo not sure of the trim size I haven't bought most of the parts yet so if anyone knows a better route besides the turbo I already have that.. Send opinions down my way I want the car to be a daily driver so reliability is key thanks

See I was thinking of putting cast nippon pistons on my stock ls rods but was sure how it would hold up.. Where are u getting your injectors from... I'm on a budget as well

No. I'd get the correct forged pistons if taking the engine apart, and not risk issues with them. don't be cheap. get the good stuff. 1000cc isn't necessary at all for 300-400. just overkill. 680-880cc is more than enough.

i would rather use 60% of the inj.. then 80 or 90% then if i go bigger turbo and stuff i would not have to buy inj.. if you get it tuned right you will be fine
