If you aren't ready to throw in the towel I'm sure my buddies in NJ could get more power out of it without that KB with a paxton like mine. Sounds like you have everything else ready to go...
also could probably set you up with all of the 8 rib stuff, its currently in the works for my buddy's avalanche that just got a 402, ran into the PS pulley problem, but the fabricator is down the block and its in the works as we speak. Unfortunately the high IAT's were a problem on the vettes they installed kits on and they have no desire in the world to work on the KB stuff because the results just suck. Meth will help somewhat, but they're VERY against KB stuff on vettes, no problem with anything else out there for the most part be it maggie, turbos, their paxton kit or procharger/vortechs etc.
But having never ending project vehicles myself, I know where you are right now.

oh, oops. It is currently at the transmission shop getting the trans built and the converter replaced. I was having some slipping issues. Runs great aside from the cam not being ideal for a twin screw. It was chosen for the turbo and I totally forgot to ask about having it changed. oops. future project.

I hope after all of the B.S. you have been through that it starts going right for you and you get to enjoy that thing instead of wanting to push it into the driveway and set it on fire!
