That is really going to rip

What is your RWHP goal and RWTQ goal with this set-up?

I would say you'll be very much in the 700 RWHP department!

Thanks,Matt

Really dont have a goal..like to see somehting over 550 hp close to 600 then I be happy... not well educated in FI and this is my first Vette. Made purchases based off things I read in here as far as you need this and that and make sure you have this...I just like it to be as safe as possible and yet at the same time get everything out of it I can (Before my next deployment thewn I can forge built tranny/rear) I didnt think I be any where near 700 hp with this build though I'm thinking the stock internals wouldnt last long am I wrong on that assumption? What do you guys think? and thanks for the well wishes!!

With you have a stock bottom I would shoot for the 550-600 rwhp area and if you go much above that level I would then put an ECS restrictor plate in to prevent top end
