It all looks good on paper for a low 10 sec combo, It'll all be in the tune and if the combo works well with everything else ie converter, chassis, tune. Also E85 and Alky... Is there a reason your doing both?

I will try two differend combos 95 lbs+alky & 160 lbs with e85 (not using e85+alky)

You are using similar combo...
 
How high is the compression ratio going to be? Off the shelf cam? Intended boost level?
 
Well it does sound like its going to be an easy 550 rwhp on E-85. What kind of converter is it? I have learned that they can make or break the combo. Have you ran that converter before on a previous TB combo?
 
Agreed talk to Dusty about the converter. Spinning a Holset turbo could give you some problems.

Bison is a good source of info on turbos here too.

For what you are trying to accomplish, I would recommend using a FAST XFI unit. You will have a lot of tuning to do.
 
Allmost ready...

Nice looking engine! Your build seems solid for your goals. I agree with PTC 9.5 NLU converter. How are you tuning the car? Fast XFI or chip?
