Horsepower? Well, as much as i can get and safely run this thing. I dont want to crack the block too early so Ill stay conservative.

Intake manifold? Staying with TPIS Mini Ram.

PT says that the turbo will flow enough air to handle 1400 hp. But I am not going to be there anytime soon.

Cool, thanks for the info.

have you filled the block @ all? if not have you considered filling it some? it is kind of an economical way of securing it up some. not bullet proof, but still helps to keep it together, specially up @ the top where it wants to dance.

Do you have any leads on Carb/EFI manifolds all ready done? My bet is that they are not likely done & waiting on the shelf yet. I would guess that in a few years they might be but you never know.

What are you talking about?? lol Sorry dont know.

No I dont have any block fill and I also dont have a plugged deck. I was young, wet behind the ears. Hindsight is 20/20. Whateveryou want to say.

I cant go back and fill it now. If you pour it in, it can distort the cylinder walls when it hardens and then you have to have it rehoned.

Just going to stay conservative this year and then upgrade to that dart block I want so bad!

LOL, I read this again when I got to work today & it did not make any sense to me either.

The normal carborator manifolds that have injector bungs welded into them. In other words conversions from a carb to EFI. I know that there are a number of places out there that will do the conversions for you, @ some cost. I was just wondering if anyone is selling them as complete units, maybe with the elbows & Throttle bodies already on them. Maybe with your choice of injector sizes & with or w/o tps & such.

Kind of like, Burger King, goto the order window & order it up your way.

Ah I see what you mean.
The only things I can think of are where you have to buy their whole management system like edelbrock pro flo or accel DFI or something like that. Know what I mean?

Cool, thanks gents. I figure I am going to have to pick & choose & not be able to buy a "setup". I wonder if maybe someone like White Racing & Marine might put a package together. say, manifold, elbow, TB, injectors, harness & ECM.

I think that is for another day though.
