Well.. I just got the 205cc heads on..I can tell it has plenty more pull top end but not pushing it til I get my 42# inj on. Again I have to wait til the dyno shop can fit me in end of month.

If it helps you , I would say that the biggest frustration for me throughout this entire process was having constant stop signs in front of me. I had to wait for this..wait for that..wait for this .. wait for that .. 50% there and then wait wait wait. If I had to do it over again I would have bought a crate engine shipped to my door and put it in. I am a fast paced guy and this engine could have been in and done in 1 month and instead it took a good 6 months IIRC to get it in the car and running. After that it sat because of issues. It nearly drove me nuts. I was told my MAF was calc'd for 36# and it was never calc'd properly. So I drove it and waxed the spark plugs and the o2's and that was a nice piece of change. Then expecting 400rwhp from heads that weren't much better than chunks of aluminum bolted onto the car..set me back a few months and dyno time and personal time too.

If I were to build an all out motor, my biggest concerns are stuff like having to buy a new dizzy, front cover bs and the accessory drive stuff... I would end up running the vortech for a little while after teh 427 was in till I could get the turbo kit, but the vortech would probably max out around 6psi... Minimum heads I would run are 205's, possibly 225 but don't want a big nasty cam, which turbos don't need anyway... I have a stack of parts built up, i might as well keep that goin..

First thing first...

Fuel System capable of supporting 1000rwhp and AFM PMS...
