I'm trying to plan my entire engine build all at once. I've been saving some money for a while and want to knock everything out at once instead of gradually, so I can just get one ecu tune and be done with it.

Goal: Around 375whp or more...

Turbo: For the longest time I was planning on getting a GT2871R probably .86, but I was thinking about getting a new exhaust manifold, so I was thinking about getting an SC50 or perhaps an SC32 (or maybe even something else, who knows). Also, if I went that route I'd probably get the TurboFab top mount setup kit, and I will be putting a flexpipe in my exhaust regardless of what I do... Thoughts?

Bolt-Ons: Injectors - 700-740cc... Should I worry about a new fuel rail? Intake manifold? Cams? If I get cams would I have to then deal with valve springs and retainers, etc?

Internals: I've been considering getting CP pistons and Eagle rods as well as ARP main studs and head studs just for reliability concerns and the fact that I don't actually know how this engine has been treated in the past...

Basically I just need some help deciding what would actually be worth doing. This is going to be a somewhat-budget install. I want to do things right, but I don't want to overdo it for minimal worth...

Thanks for your opinions.
