because i saw you are doing 190cc AFR heads for your turbo 383 and they are even smaller than the 210cc AFR heads you did for your NA 401 LT1?

as procharged said, They will end up around 205-210cc when done.
The only reason I am started with 190s is "the price was right". I would prefer 195s.
i think the GTP 220s will work great, craig knows how to make stuff go fast.

I felt that I couldn't get enough piston on top of a 396. Also, no need for cubic inches.. cept at low(non boost) rpm. The turbo will more than make up for it

BTW, what type of flaring tool are you using for the brake lines?

Looks very nice!
My setup will be very similar to yours. My biggest worry is going to be drivers side plug access.
What size primarys and crossover pipe did you decide to use?
I'm going to run 1 5/8 primarys, and a 2 1/4 crossover tube.

Jordan,
Looks good. Mine's gonna be a up a lilttle bit from that location, but still very similar. I haven't decided if I'm gonna have my turbo oriented like yours, or turned 180* with the intake coming from the closest fender. How much extra clearance did that BMR K-member give you for the downpipe, and is it 3" or 3-1/2"?
Did you use the same basic x-over design (minus the lame wastgate location) as the turbotech kit?
