Excellent, good to know! Are the stock gaskets up to the task? I would love to save the money by not purchasing a Cosworth set.

for sure, they are multi layer steel gaskets and with the ARP L19 head studs you won't see those lifting

Thanks for the input. Are you sticking with the 340LPH fuel pump? What injectors?

I am hoping to go with ID1000s and tune on E85. I think I'll need a dual pump setup.

I'm only going for 600-650whp on high boost, so 850cc and the 340lph pump will do the trick.

Realistically, that is my goal as well. Maybe ~700whp on E85. I plan to have a 93 octane tune for when E85 is unavailable.

I really like to CJM twin pump, but it is pretty expensive. Might have to bite the bullet!

Hell yeah it's very expensive I have it and in order to make it work you need all of this a complete fuel system.

1000 CC injetors is cutting it close for 700whp on E-85 I had a nice conversation with the guys from ID. It is something that I looked into E85 uses so much fuel that they would be close to max at 700whp. The next size up is 2000cc and I have been told not to try that with uprev.

I was looking at the Stage 5 setup...talk about not cheap! Very nice setup though.

I am a little worried that the ID1000s could max out with E85, but I think my Stage 2 turbos would get to their limit of efficiency before that. What do you think? I don't think I want to upgrade the turbos at this point, just safely get the most out of the Stage 2 kit on 93 and E85.

That's what I'm buying along with the 4.2L, stage 4 turbos, clutch etc. Someone gotta try and catch you!! I'm hoping to have their quote soon on how much everything is going to run me. Go big or go home, right.
