    Sounds like it will be a good basic setup, never cared much for the SR turbo setups, turbo's too restrictive, top end sucks, I run Holsets on my KA-T, a bit laggy though. If you're buying the SSAC manifold, get the t3 one, and buy on of their t3/t4, .63 ar hot side, and 50 trim cold side, turbo will give you a better power band. I would probably get something like a MSD BTM or MSD6BTM, to retard the timing under boost. Detonation is what kills KA's, I've been through many. If you got an aftermarket adjustable fpr, you can bump your base fuel pressure up to pull a little more power out of those injectors, 250 is about max though, being safe. After about 280 you'll need a Z32 MAF also.

    Here's my old KA-T 14, setups going into my vert now, if you want some more power later one, http://www.e-emotorsports.com/builtkat.php

    Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm really taking it into consideration. If I'm going to be stretching the 370 injectors at 250hp i might as well upgrade to be safe... and if i'm going to upgrade the injectors then the t3 setup is starting to look awefully attractive.

    what would be a safe injector size if I'm going to be looking at 300hp? I'm guessing 550s?

    If you're getting bigger injectors start out with 650s or so. FIC sells them cheap. Matt has them in his Sentra and they work fine.

    The reason I say that is with 650s you probably wont ever run out of fuel with your setup even if you do t3/t4. You can play with ignition timing with bigger injectors and fatten up the mixture.
