Default Shooting for 425 whp.

I'm currently having the motor built. Here's the setup.

b18b block:
Eagle H beams
JE 9:1 pistons
OEM bearings
Balanced crank

B16 head:
Supertech valve train
P&P
multiangle valve job

Turbo:
Garret 60-1
Turbonetics log mani
3 inch DP
3 inch exhaust
Hondata s200b

There's more stuff but here's the most important things. My goal is eventually going to be around 425whp on my LSVT build, but what do you think it will make the way it is right now? I'm hoping to be at least around 380 whp when it's done for now. I know that my mani is pretty restrictive, but I'm gonna be getting a ramhorn later on, aswell as a Victor X intake mani. Do you think that with this set up along with the ramhorn and intake mani I coujld be around 425 whp? What cams would you guys reccomend for something like this, Thanks, RV.

you will need to give a lot more info than that. Like Turbo, fuel setup, managment.

Sorry, my computer is messed up and just posted without me even doing anything. I couldn't do anything about it other than edit it.

What are you going to be doing with the car? Drag, weekend warrior, daily driver?

That turbo will definitely get you there. The log will too. Plenty of guys have made a lot of power on cast log manifolds, so it can be done. It won't be anywhere near as efficient as a ramhorn or topmount but it won't prevent you from reaching your goals.

I'd opt for a Skunk2 manifold over the VictorX since the powerband is more desirable for street driving. I recommend GSR or ITR cams. You don't need anything overly aggressive with boost.

What size injectors are you planning on? Do you have access to E85?
