You might be able to make 350 due to cams/mani/throttle body as stock ls heads don't flow well. You'll probably be in the in the 16-20psi range with that turbo.
Water meth injection maybe

that's a pretty decent sized IC for what you are trying to do. I say rock it. HitchHkr will tell you that the first four inches of the IC are all that's really used anyway...he seems to know his ----.

Really? Is there any proof on this theory?

If you don't plan to go over 600hp, the ramhorn will do the job. I may be wrong, I'm not an expert with manifold.

How well does your cylinder head works/flows? I have the same head/cam/spring/valve, but it is for my next build, so I wonder how well it works for you?

Did you get some # before your manifold cracked?

i hit 287 whp but i beleive the manifold was already cracked. what happened is everytime i shift the wastegate hits the radiator support . its a quick fix just gota notch the radiator support or use an elbow for the wastegate.
