So here are updates on my end:

I decided to build my stock block so I sent my block off to MA performance for a short block build. Specs on the new block:

9:1 Manley Pistons
Manley 156mm H-beam Long-Rods
ARP Main, connecting, head bolts
Balance shaft delete on block

I ordered a MA EF3 turbo aswell.

My head goes to the machine shop this week, Port polish and GSC S2 cams and beehives.

I also got a Full Race Pro- Stock manifold and a ETS 3.5 Intercooler.

I think my power goals are well within reach now. Thoughts?

Quite a departure from the original plan on the turbo. Hope it spools like you want. Good that you went with a built bottom end. Didn't follow your threads too closely - are you going to ditch the 6-speed or reinforce it?

I have six jugs for corn, I fill up, then bring 30 gallons to the track and I can make it the whole weekend. Not a pain at all.

Jarrod mentioned the TAK335r from CBRD, I actually have one of those turbos that I'm selling. Please let me know if you are interested.

Awesome. I'm sold on corn now, I'm so excited I'm finding it hard to concentrate on work.

I swapped out my 6 speed earlier this year. I took the 6 speed out in working order and sold it. I ran a cooler on the tranny which I know for a fact improved the life of the thing (added almost 1 more quart of fluid.) I am currently running a pump/cooler set up on a stock 5 speed.

my car basically meets the goals you set

2.3L/ full-race manifold with a BW s200sx. im sure with one of the newer gen turbos (EFR, GTX) it would make more and spool faster

makes around 450WHP on a dyno dynamics at ~23 psi on 93 octane. hits full boost ~3900.

as for tubular manifolds and roadracing; if you buy a quality manifold, you dont have to worry

I bought a Full Race manifold. That thing is stout I am not afraid of it cracking, it does put off a lot of excess heat though (need to get it jet-coated etc.)
