Deadly dude, good decision! Why not run more boost? As well what internals and pistons are you running?

You've already got the money to shell out for this? You know that there are quite a bit of supporting mods that you are going to have the get right?

no 351w? i think the 351 would be a better bang for the buck. u could always turbo the 351 later on

the so little boost is because i run a stock bottom end, more boost will come but i wanted to get the kit and put it on to see how it works, what kind of supporting mods will i need? Like a FMU or just and new EFI all togeather? thanks for the help. also the 351 i want to build that will come but not yet, it is only going to run me about 9k for that so im spending the 5k on the turbos first then ill do motor in a year or so. but im not going to crank 10psi and blow my motor. 7.5psi with the kit im looking at made 383rwhp and 470rwtq on a stock motor. thats great IMO

youll need 2 waste gates, a blow off valve, blow through maf, intercooler, larger injectors, shorty headers (if you dont have them) and a tune. not to mention the turbos themselves and the plumbing.

Well, I think that hes buying a kit. And most kits come complete with everything (exhaust, fuel, piping, hardware, etc.)
