Question The 93' is officially a project truck, yeehaw!

So some of you may remember my thread on how I was being forced to sell my 93' due to financial reasons. Well since then I've gotten a $4.40/hr raise (its nice to be apprenticing in a trade) and I after driving the ol' girl, I can't sell it. SO with that being said, I've decided to turn this truck into a go-fast, public eyesore, whattheheckwasthat project. I've got some ideas in mind and I'd like to hear your guy's thoughts on them so here goes.

Injectors: Probably DDP 80hp, EDMs are a possibility but they can get pretty spendy

Turbo: Really not sure what to go with here, I'm thinking an HTB2 of sorts but in terms of compressor and exhaust housing sizing, I'm not sure. Twins are a possibility but I don't have a welder readily available.

Head mods: ARP studs, porting and 60lb valve springs, and a new gasket I want to be able run a lot of boost so maybe I should just go all the way and get a O-Ringed head? Or will studs hold it fine?

Clutch: South Bend Con OFE

Miscellaneous: Piston lift pump, W/M injection

Any suggestions to what I've listed above or what I've missed? My goal is 400rwhp

Thanks guys

I would go with some New Era 435's they are a 6x.013 injector and make some nice power and are pretty clean w/ the proper spray angle. Or some New Era custom edm's. Ask for Chuck, 740-819-0457. DDP's are a nice injector. I would ask them to open them up a little though. Most guys running them say like 10 percent larger then DDP 80hp. Get some injectors that are plenty big now so you don't wish for more down the road. Just my $.02. Later!
