I have been working on 90 5.0 lx. absolutely nothing is stock. I was wondering if the car is gonna possibly be able to run 10's. Is my fuel set up ok for my goals? How much hp am I looking at? I am getting closer to the day we fire it up for the first time and I want someone to look over our mod list and see if we forgot anything that we need to get. will we have to have it dyno tuned right away? We were also thinking about having the chip flashed by the performance shop it would by dyno tuned at.

Vortech v1 supercharger was set at stock boost with stock pulley which is 3.5 inches and I want to go to a 2.62 inch pulley which I believe will put me at around 16 psi. Can someome with more experience please inform me if I am wrong.

Is there anything else I will need?

I think thats everything. I will post if I remember something I forgot.
 
The stock fuel lines will support ~350hp. You may need to go with bigger lines. As far as HP I really don't like throwing out numbers. My suggestion is to download desktop dyno and "build" your engine on that. Keep in mind that it assumes a perfect tune and doesn't allow for friction losses. It's usually pretty close if you subtract 10-20%.
