this man is 100% correct! 700whp is still the goal and still plan on it. on this block and heads im shooting for in the 500s. but as for right now i cant get over 19psi due to 8 psi waste gate springs so im ordering stiffer ones. i also need to wire up that second walbro before i go any further. im thinking at 25psi and more that this car will just fly. so will keep updating

Glad to hear everything is moving along still. A project like this has to go one step at a time just like youre doing. I commend your patience through it all, I know its not easy.

he has a thread on NASIOC if you want to check it out. he's waiting for the built block to arrive I believe. he's still working out some leak issues with the exhaust and what not. I believe the prelim. numbers are the same seeing how he's still using the stock block.

Hey man, Matt here we talked via PM once I'm doing the same thing but on a bugeye. We had the same oil problems and we found that we needed to vent the sump so that the pump could draw some air.

Good luck with youre project, we are tuning mine tommrow.

not much going on right now. i just took insurance off of it and am starting to do some work. its up on jack stands right now with the rear end out of it and am putting the 1000hp axles and hubs in as well as the alum drive shaft from drive shaft shop. after that it will be sitting for a while while i try to make some $$$ to put the bottom end together and get parts for the heads.

Do you have the .035 oil restrictor pills on the oil feed line? That should keep the high oil pressure of the suby from seeping through the turbo seals.

I have a .4bar small spring for a 44mm Tial wastegate if you need that to hold more boost.
