John, I am using two T03 units from 85 T-bird. I have done enough
calculations that show at a pressure ratio of 2 (1 atmosphere boost) these
will suffice to about 6500 rpm and at B'ville altitude.  With the chosen
cam 226/210 ls 110 and compression at 8.5 all may calcs say about 650 hp.
Will be using World Products Senior Al heads (maybe trick flow but I hear
they have valve guide problems). I will have one TB hooked up and One MAF
but running large injectors > 55lbs/hr. Planning on SpeedBrain for ECU so
will have complete data logging and mod capability. As to wheels, no I do
not want steel wheels, I want alloy. I plan on Weld Prostars for racing but
I need a couple of ?? just to put it on the ground so I can roll it around
better.
