> i think i can expect somewhere around 260hp on the stock internals. my end goal after i build the bottom end and head and lsd in the tranny is to put up like 350whp with a really large powerband… thats why i went with the gt2860rs, more for the efficency thn the max horsepower number.

There are a few downfalls with the gt28

Resale  
“limits”  
@ 350 hp with that turbo you will be what about 18-19psi? thats Hard on the motor when you compare it to a bigger turbo.  
@20psi on my 60-1 it was 480whp (at the end of the road for that turbo)  
To add to that a large power band creates large traction problems!

just given you a heads up!

Would be a fun Road race car
