How does it look vented to you .lolMy numbers well running stock maf and injectors , 250 or what ever it will let me have . With my fuels upgrade , ( 550 cc injectors aeromotive fpr raising rate , z32 maf and a tune or stand alone). The limit would be around 350 to the wheels I may go to 800 cc so i can run e85 180 a gallon for 115 equivalent. Of course i would need some cams i will dyno it as soon as i have her broke in and the bugs worked out .

You need bigger injectors than 550's, you'll max them in no time and it'll be a waste of a turbo that big. Even if you ran 800cc's you'd still need bigger injector's to run E85 and get the most out of the turbo. I suggest running Sard 850cc's on regular pump gas/race fuel. If you want to run E85, you need to look into running top feed injectors and going to 1000cc's or higher. Not to mention SS teflon fuel lines, as E85 will melt regular rubber lines.

Great looking engine man. I like the new mani, looks tight. Polished cover ftw also.

Open dump pipe is what I'm assuming, yum!

Also where did you get your blue valve cover nut washers? Or did you just paint em?

Ok, but I'm telling you that 800cc injectors aren't going to give you enough head room to run E85. You need 30-40% bigger injectors to run that stuff, and 800cc's just isn't going to cut it, unless you plan on running strictly 93 or race fuel. That's all I'm saying.
