      Here is some information on my heads. Im getting
      3/8 rocker arms,
      valve spring retainers,
      valve locks,
      si stainless valves 1.84 intake
      si stainless valves 1.60 exhaust
      intake 150# valve springs
      exhaust 130# valve springs


      should be around $500 for all of that not adding all the machine work on the heads

      Also will be getting the machined oil pump cover and making a gasket match sheet metal .25 spacer to clear the double roller chain

      should be around $150 for all that

              No need for forged pistons if all you're going to need is 60#'s, unless your tune is terrible.

              Be careful! SI valves can be uhhh yea.. I think more recently they have gotten better though. I guess I'm stuck in 2008 lol.

              Don't stay with a 10 bolt, go Ford 8.8 like Letzride has or get a 9".

                For my goals with this motor i will need forged pistons, as for 60# injectors i need them for when i hit boost

                ans the si valves should be fine

                and well see what comes up when its the time for that

                  Well 60# injectors are easy to max on stock pistons. As in you cannot make more power than the stock pistons will take with a 60# injector. They will take you far though.

                  Do your rear end before you start tuning the car... mine left me on the side of the highway. At least with a functioning rear you might be able to get some $$ back before you blow it up.

                          Dude, 60s should be fine, unless hes trying for over 500HP.

                            we estimate 600+ but are not sure

                              Today i found the place where the turbo is going to go



                              The compressor side out will go in front of the radiator down to the intercooler piping

                              The exhaust out will do a u turn towards the passenger side and down through where the ac compressor WAS

                              And from the FF headers they will have to go 90 degrees down after flanges then 90 towards turbo t4 flange the 90 degree into the flange

                                You'll need 80#'s.

                                http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...114992&eq=&Tp=

                                You'll also need a boost-a-pump. A single Walbro isn't enough to support that much on a boosted V6.

                                And if you plan on taking the car to the strip often you might want to look at getting a bigger pump or a Lonnies double pump set up.

                                No need to buy it right away, if you plan on dyno tuning it and are okay with possibly running out of injector or pump on the dyno. Make sure you're running a pressure gauge on the rails when doing this if you see the pressure dropping stop! If tuning on the street, definitely have a 100+hp of headroom. (Which is what your fuel system should be anyway)
