my first 400whp GST build

[boostednavyac]

Just bought a All White 97 GST a few days ago...and i'm starting to purchase all my pieces. Hoping to achieve somewhere around the 400whp range, its not my DD this time around thankfully, so let me know if you see any pieces missing or if you have any advice on mistakes i may be making.

-Going to purchase a FP3052 Turbo, Tial 44mm WG with Evo3 Manifold and 3'' Downpipe on sunday
-Also need to buy a FMIC And ECMlink/Eprom
-Just purchased 950cc Injectors, 4'' Intake, Aeromotive AFPR, and MTX-L WB
-Car came with a 255LPH pump. currently using a 16g, SAFC2 and 550cc injectors, all of which i plan to sell afterwards
-Car came with a turbo timer and a AEM tru boost
-I would like to Stick with the stock IM, bottom end, and Cams
-I live in CA, so i get the lovely 91 octane pump gas. I do not want to deal with E85, so it seems im stuck on pump/race gas
-I plan to do a conservative tune as i'd rather the car be safe than achieve a certain dyno # and be on the risky side

So what do you guys think? Sound like a decent build?
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated

Put an LSD on that list or an awd swap?

I was thinking that eventually. i want to research them both a little bit more and decide later when I know more

Thats true I think you need around 1000CC or so injectors just to be able to run e85 efficiently. I plan to make my 400whp build using a e316g with ports and cams. Shouldn't be too hard. Keep your thread updated or make a build thread.

good luck on your build as well, i will have to look into doing a build thread as i have never done one before

I had originally decided to go with FIC 950cc injectors but after doing some research I changed my mind to go with 1250cc instead. I have been trying to search into if the car will have trouble idling because of the size injector but have been unsucessful. Anyone have a link or any personal experience with 1250's? I will be purchasing ECMlink as well

You recommend him a DSM flange manifold and a regular 30R, when the FP3052 he is already buying is nothing but a 3076R with a bolt on housing.

Anyways, get a very good FMIC, 1000cc injectors, quality clutch, make sure the fuel pump is rewired, and honestly, i'd throw some cams in it.
