K1 Rods, CP or Wiseco 9.0:1 pistons, Clevite bearings, ARP studs, Cometic head gasket, walbro fuel pump, 700-800cc injectors, Some kind of management other than the emanage blue to be safe lol, a GOOD tune and u should net 400 whp with 18 lbs.
what i just wrote is exactly my build basically lol and im aiming for 400 whp at 18 lbs but i also have larger valves in the head.. 60-1 is a nice turbo and will get u there with less cost than buying a gt30 or 35.
im using a masterpower 60-1 i got it NEW for 650 lol.. and its a beast.

Damn that's a lot haha. I wont be able to turbo for a while then! How much would the engine stuff run? I can do the Engine stuff now when I get my income tax haha. Hopefully my half blown motor lasts till my built motor is complete!

K1 are good for drop in a go will hold 600whp... The manleys will not make 1000hp but will hold it, which means, if you make a boo boo with your tune, the rods should hold up to the beating... For the extra couple dollars I said do it, if you wanna stick with k1 they are good as well.

Okay so... the build that I had in mind originally is too street and expensive LOL.
So i'm just going mild and safe. Looking for 300-320 whp, max out at 10 PSI + reliability.
Bearings, Studs, Head Gasket etc.
(Would I even need rods and pistons for this build)

The engine isn't out of the car, but right now my compression dropped to 80 across every cylinder. It might be a bad case of blowby or a another case of failed piston rings. I believe either way an engine has to come in and out lol. Not sure if my cylinder walls are scored badly, but when I had my supercharger on (Saturday), I felt no boost.

Sucky situation... If you have scored cylinder walls or burnt piston, you might as well go for a piston designed for turbo applications meaning the compression rings are seated lower on the piston and you can keep the same 9.5-1 compression ratio...

Yeah.. I figured i'd have to get pistons regardless. But as for valves and rods and such, I believe i can stay stock with those. So pretty much either way, I need a new block. Lol.
Then I can replace the bearings and such to make it a little bit more golden.
