car craft did one last month that made 1006 lb ft. and 946hp at the flywheel. im not sure what a rear mount kit will put out for boost but im thinking 8psi would be enough for a daily driver.

Very Nice. Now, time to think about a couple things you can do before assembly. Since you're talking turbo later, how about a thermal coating on the piston crowns? Then how about anti-friction coating on the skirts, as you'll be pulling them pretty far down in the bore due to the increased stroke setup you'll be running, might help keep it quiet a bit longer than without (help a bit with oil consumption by reducing the rate at which wear will occur).
On second glance, it looks like the skirts might already be coated, I can't quite tell from the photos.
