[QUOTE="Willens, post: 14384258, member: 155428"] Why wouldn't the heads make sense NA versus FI? 276 cfm at .600 lift is a very solid foundation to support a T6 turbo. I'm all-ears on the matter to learn something new. The inspiration came from an 00R owner who decided to buck the norm and went with the same turbo on his 00R, and the numbers were respectable. As for the intake, I had planned on buying a Cobra R lower today as the lower design is tuned rather well (and with velocity in-mind, obviously a major consideration for a strictly NA build.) And then sourcing the upper, TB and mounts would be the last bits to procure. Cams would be custom with a happy amount of overlap, obviously any out-of-the-box blower (or worse, high duration NA) cam would inhibit things drastically. At the end of the day, I really just wanted to build the baddest 5.4 I could, and the flow from the 00R top half seemed to be the way to go with custom cams and a bottom end. The Z32... I've been a Z32TT guy for over a decade, just sold my 3000GT VR-4 build last Saturday to free up cashflow for the 5.4 build! The hangar shot... SVTOrange I don't know where in MD you are but I am all for a re-shoot with a bunch of cool cars! Thanks for chiming in, I've already been reading like crazy and studying Al & Birdman's gospel.
