I am looking for imputs estimates and advice here, not a newbie to cars but a newbie t the forum,
building my car into a street race/grudge race/60roll car and im wondering if this motor set up will work for the goals of the car.
Will be posting updates as the car progresses.

4g63t stock rotating assembly (picking up a 6 bolt 2.0 not a stroker to sleeve and fully build next season)
FMIC
arp head studs
arp cam tower bolts
gsc hp valve springs and retainers (kiggly high pressure springs and retainers now)
map 550
whp e85 kit fic 1250cc injectors AEM 320lph fuel pump with AFPR
dsm link tuned
hx35 billet internals(twin scroll housing if i find one)
3 inch turbo back with header
gsc s2 cam with adjustable cam gears(cam choice is what i really need help with these are only good to 35 psi)

my goal is 500hp roughly car IS NOT a daily driver only comes out for races and street test passes(and standing half mile runs once a year)

im not worried about this set up on the big end where im pretty sure it will perform,
where i am concerned is will this set up perform in a grudge race from a dig, car will be on slicks so boosted launches are in the equation.

Need help choosing a cam for this turbo that can handle power since im not sure how turned up this turbo is going to go but i thinks its safe to say 30psi is a possibility

Food for thought, the Kelford 264's are 11mm intake and 10.5 exhaust. Compare those lifts with other cams and they are close to most 272's. I am running those cams and have seen 583hp in link with well over 400 ft/lbs torque. They pull to my redline of 8750 and I am happy with them. HKS 272's don't have as much lift. The Kelford 272's increase the exhaust lift to 11.00 I believe.
I think ill be happy with the kelford 264's and should have no issues making power with them, how are yours as far as street manners?
 
I love mine. They lope some but have good mid and top end. If I had a smaller turbo they would work a bit better down low, but I have full spool by 4500 or so (28 lbs). The HX40/Kelford 264's make around 500hp 400 torque pretty easy. My BEP housing is rather restrictive.
