I'm trying to achieve 400awhp I think I should be close but my question is what else should I take a look at that needs attention ? I know it will mostly matter how it's driven and tuned, just looking for anything I'm missing ? Thanks guys!
 
I was considering 1000cc injectors but I was not sure if I needed them for sure. I already have the 650s from before, would I be better off with the 1000s that way I'm not pushing my 650s so hard?
 
Nice well rounded setup. The injectors arent gonna cut it. i would go with 1000cc or something like 1450 fic bluemax if you decide to run e85 all you have to upgrade is the fuel pump.
 
As what everyone else said, the injectors seem to be in the small side. I would go with 850cc. I used this thread to calculate my injectors and fuel pump size: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/injector-and-fuel-pump-supported-airflow.366003/

I would say a weak link will be the suspension and driveline components. Our cars are getting old, most of the bushings need to be replaced, the driveshaft most likely needs a rebuild. Subframe bushings are probably shot, you get the idea.
 
I had a TD06-20g on my fwd-t and with vpc/afc/660s never saw a blip of knock, dyno'd ~350whp before adding web cams street grind to the mix. That was at 24psi. I think you'll be really close to your goal, just tune it well and add fuel if need be.
 
Dont worry, something will break. Check everything over, suspension, steering, balljoints, axles. Thats the stuff people overlook, they just wanna go fast.
