To start I am doing the turbos and tune. We are going for 6 psi to stay on the safe side. Looking to get 500 rwhp. In a few months going to forge and cam the motor and push the psi to 9-10 with hopefully 600 to 650 rwhp.

Congrats! Make sure you also have plans on how to hook that extra 100-150 rear wheel horsepower in phase two or you will probably not be able to enjoy it... On my last car when I boosted up it went from wheelspin to lots of wheelspin and I was limited to 275s on width without tubbing the rear.
