Finally Building The Engine

Ok everyone I've been talking about it for awhile now but I am finally in a position to get some work done to my car. I already have a set of CX Racing 139.5mm rods to go in, I will be essentially doing an "inframe" of the engine in the car, not touching mains. I have been reading that sputters are the best rod bearings to go with, and a victor reinz gasket set should be fine. I intend to also put in a new set of rings, and some NA cams. I'm going for about 400whp, so I am under the impression stock pistons should be OK. The car currently has a straight flange 19t and M56, fmic with 2.5inch piping, 3 inch exhaust, 4.4 tuned, with white injectors. My plan is to go with an R manifold, NA intake mani and TB with 960 plate, use the same intercooler piping but upgrade to a larger core, AC delete and Heater Core Delete, if I can get one an RN oil pan and cooler, and a spec clutch. Turbo wise I would like to go GT3582 or GT3076, but if anyone has any other recommendations i'm all ears. The car will be used mostly for track runs, 1/4 mile, with occasional street use. I would like to use an injector similar in size to a 630cc siemmens but I have heard they dont play nice with our cars, so other ideas would be nice. Likely going to use the ARD 340LPH pump. I would like to keep the car 4.4 tuned, if that seems reasonable. I understand this probably means at the least upgrading the MAF, not sure what else. A Quaife would be nice but at the moment it will not be possible with everything else I want to do, hopefully in the future. I intend to get a good set of slicks on 16's so the car should still hook nice when at the track. If anyone has any input or suggestions I would appriciate it, I am almost at the point where I am going to begin tear down and part ordering so it would be nice to get any bugs worked out at this point. I search a lot of things myself but when you get to this level of modification it seems a lot of the knowledge is word of mouth and no one around here has done anything remotely like this that I have personally met. Thanks again everyone, this should be fun.
