Yeah and I just got a pair of Trick Flow's 185 heads with some heavy springs for the boost. Aiming for Trick Flow's figure of around 800 hp. With a couple of smaller turbos I don't expect any lag.

WIthout the supercharge pulley bridge and set up, you would have no problem adding turbos.

Need to weld in some stainless heat shielding where you get the red glow in those areas near meltable stuff somewhat like near catz need otherwise a lot of stuff will bake/melt away if used/driven much, even louvers in the hood surrounded with stainless. You will need to reflect a lot of heat away. Things like the battery will be rapidly destroyed due to intense heat near it. All the wiring will be crisped along with the plastic type caps and covers. Radiator hoses will char, crack, split and that is not such a good thing here. These areas need attention and the parts changed. At this point go back to the drawing board and redesign these because it is a short runner if you do not address them.

The cold side is against close to the hose. It will be covered all in titanium. Battery will be relocated. Headers all wrapped in titaninum. No worries guys.

Just wrapped every inch of my long tubes and the extensions with some D.E.I. 2" heat wrap. I want to stop the tinny noise you get with long tubes and keep the heat in for the turbos. We'll see how that works.
