Ok, here is what i am going to do.
the engine that was listed in my first post
LSX intake with 90tb
STS turbo with GT 70 and meth. inject.
4L80e built
4.10 rear (forgot the brand, i will look it up and post it later.)
A couple of other things such as the boost control, elec. fans, wires, msd blast coils, etc. etc....
One thing i forgot was what fuel system to go with, what upgrade should i do, what injectors and should i upgrade the fuel pump or will the stock work.

maybe you have looked at it already, but have you considered the livernois turbo kit?
i'm pretty sure you need upgraded fuel pump and injectors, but i dont know what ones. take a look at parish's setup. i think he did it through racetronix. alotta people say to get stock gears because they are quieter. is the built 80 from flp?

i dunno if the 160 or 180* thermostat is a good idea...theres conflicting opinions on their usefulness. lots of posts on that topic i think
i have never heard of anyone doing the nology wires. i had it pegged as a gimmick, but hey, when youre doing a high dollar setup like this, why not?
i've heard granatelli's are a gimmick too, but i dont know from experience.
another thing that you could reconsider is the motor and how much strength you need vs. how much you want to spend. you could go with brands like eagle instead of lunati and callies and save a shiteload of money, but if you are willing to spend the money, then you should spring for the best.
sounds like an awesome setup. this is what alotta people on this board dream about at night, and actually being able to put this in your truck is awesome. best of luck with it

The list that we have is close to what we are getting, all this will happen. It is me and one other guys doing this project, and with our payrolls combined we will have all the money plus some in a little under 3months. So we have set a dead line of a year to complete this. One reason is we are wanting to do most of the work ourself. I think when you get done with something if you have done it yourself it means more to you, than if someone just hands your something that is complete.
Thanks for the help, will look it up now.
with this level of airflow, you'll be maxing out the stock MAF and will need a stand alone engine management system.
megasquirt is cool if you have some computer skills and mechanical inclination, otherwise a nice accel DFI-7, big stuff, or a low end motec would be necessary.

Ok, i have been talking with the people that are building the engine, he said that we could see around 750 Crank Hp with out the turbo. We are going with a GT76 turbo with a FMIC and maybe meth. injection. What would be the expected Crank Hp of this set up, any est.?
