Starting new setup. What do you think?

Ok all my ---- got stolen while I was at school so now I am starting a new "unstealable" setup. I am going to do the normal built block but sleeved. Here are the things I think I will be getting.

D16z6 or Y8
Ramhorn mani
Garrett GT2860RS GT28RS Disco Potato Turbo
tial wastegate
10.5 CR
forged internals
Crane turbo cam
Edlebrock victor x intake mani
3" exhaust
golden eagle sleeves
new injectors. not sure what size yet.
new clutch. my centerforce is toast anyway.
new ecu. stolen
traction bars
I think thats it for now.

Any suggestions would be good

Re: Starting new setup. What do you think?

IMO:
1. I would choose the D16Z6.
2. Stock D16Z6 sleeves have held up to 400+ whp, so, I would skip the Golden Eagle sleeves.
3. DSM 450cc injectors - good for about 280-300whp (depends on your goal).
4. 8.5:1 or 9.0:1 CR are more boost friendly.
5. ACT HD-XTSS clutch kit - rated at 280 lb/ft torque.
6. ECU chipped for either Crome, Uberdata or Neptune - Xenocron FTW.

I had the 450cc on my last setup. I think they were to big for my last setup. But
yes I am shooting for around 300hp.
And the compression I have wanted to do a high compression turbo setup for a while and I am pretty stuck on that.
I really don't about the ACT clutch because I have heard that the pedel pressure is really high. But I know they hold
Now that you mention Neptune I might go with that. I had turboedit before with the Vtec coming out of the a/c pin which worked really good.

Re: Starting new setup. What do you think?

Oh it will happen I just have to get everything together. I just got out of school and I don't have anymoney. I first have to get my car running because everything was stolen. No injectors, ecu, or anything. It might be a while before I get any big ticket items. On the Y8 thats in my car now I was using a Z6 water pump and Z6 oil pump. Not sure if thats why it started making a weird noise but I will crack it open and get pictures. I am interested myself.
