    6.0 is great for boost, pistons are the weak link IMO. sounds like you have a great combo going. I dont use the 1:1 rise on the reg, it just complicates tuning, better to have a solid stable pressure. 13-15 psi is too high for stock pistons to live long in my exp... The 317 heads are better for boost b/c they have a thicker deck, L92 heads have a thin deck that is said to not take as much boost and cause head gasket failure. Good luck with the build

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    I see this is an old thread, but I have a question. I thought the 1:1 ratio on the FPR was to maintain the pressure difference across the injectors. If the pressure in the intake manifold increases x PSI, shouldn't the pressure in the fuel rail have to increase x PSI to maintain the same flow through the injectors?

    That's what I thought

    ~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~
