I'll be building a dual walbro 400 set up once the 255 is maxed out. Maybe I should be looking at the LU80 injectors. 100#/hr at 4 bar for $400 but they are 60mm. I would need to space the rail up 1/2". Anyone on here run them before?

What the hell is up with all these spammers lately?
80's it is then. My goal is 800rwhp with this set up one time on the dyno 
. I think I am going to give part# M-9593-LU80 a try. Should be almost 97#/hr @ 58psi and be able to easily handle my goals. I already have USCAR connections on my harness so should be a pretty basic swap except for spacing the fuel rails.
I got a bunch of parts today. I should have everything I need to get the turbo kit installed and running once it shows up. Just need injectors and I think that is it. I will roll with the walbro 255 for a bit and run low boost (<10psi) while I get used to tuning a turbo set up. Then all I should need is a meth kit and fuel pumps before running 20+ pounds through this little 4.8L. I can't wait for the turbo kit to get here

Got the two step installed today. It literally took less than 10 min to install and mount since I already had an unused momentary switch in the truck. Its pretty fun to use with open headers. I cut the exhaust out of the truck yesterday and stripped the A/C today. It sucks knowing I will never have A/C in the summers here but it has never functioned properly since I put a V8 in this truck. Could never figure out what was wrong. 
Anyways here is a vid of the 2 step and some pics without the A/C. So much room for activities without the accumulator and lines there.

I had Rick build me a 4" downpipe because I didn't think the 3" would be enough for when I put my 408ci back in this truck. He also set me up with a 4" thick intercooler, wg vented to the downpipe, and IAT/wideband bungs.
