Default *Updated* 3rd round of mods for max effort lt4 build

I currently have the following mods on my car
5"intake
Soler zr1 tb
2.3 upper
100 mm idler
13% lower
Kong ported blower
Cordes hx
Cordes expansion tank
Mighty mouse wild catch can
Jms voltage booster
1 7/8 lt headers
3 or x pipe
dsx flex feul
mti cam kit with 32% fuel lobe, vvt and dod delete
Arp head studs

My next mods are
LMP LT4 lid
ARH 2" LT headers and 3" OR x pipe
Alky methanol system
30% DI injectors
Dsx aux lowside
Cordes trunk tank
Nw 103 tb
Frankenstein Ported Heads
Supercharger cooling manifold fittings
Also tune for e. I didn't have enough fuel system for e before

Hoping for 800 plus wheel.
Made a few changes since last post. Going trunk tank instead of chiller. Added the 30% injectors. Also added 2" headers
And made a few more, but this is it! Added Frankenstein ported heads also.

****UPDATE**** 3/15
Finally got the car back together. Had the first start last friday. Still needs an alignment and tunning. I'll be sure to share the results when shes done.

****UPDATE**** 8/5
I drove around with the car on a street tune because my tuners dyno speed sensor went out. After that I was working allot. I finally got some time off about 5 weeks ago and got it tuned on the dyno. It netted 790 WHP / 798 WTQ with an SAE correction factor on a 93* humid day in south Mississippi. The STD correction factor (which I wanted to know because that's what allot of these shops us on youtube) netted 823 WHP / 836 WTQ. I'm very happy with the results of this build, however I already have the 18% lower at my shop and sending my blower back to Kong for his stage x port job. I plugged off one of my 15mm meth nozzles because I didn't need it yet. I fill the car up with pump E85 and the fuel system holds up great. I'll need to use the second 15mm nozzle when I put the last 2 upgrades on I'm sure.
The Kong stage x is supposed to add 50 HP to his normal port, and going from a 13% lower to the 18% lower I'm looking for about 900 wheel hopefully.

Amazing what you can get out of these stock blowers. I remember reading your threads deciding on my build. Recently finished my max effort LT4 and hit 878/891.

Man that thing has to be some fun just to drive normal around town. I love the torque they have with the stock blower. I have 18" MT ET street R's on the back and it hooks pretty good. Have to let it bit in first but after its solid. I hope to be around those numbers after this next upgrade.

Congrats on your car man, that's bad ***.

Wicked fast on the street with all that torque available right off idle. Running 19" R888R and they handle it surprisingly well outside of first gear. I secretly wanted to hit 900. With some Ignite in the tank and a cooler day I imagine I'm there no problem.

Very nice, any plans to take it to the track? Jekor, mind sharing your mods to get that kind of power?

Similar setup as samwint above..

Lots of Cordes parts- Stage 3 cam, low side, 5" intake, heat exchanger, and expansion tank
-Katech 103mm TB
-Jokerz full tilt port with the tall lid/bricks (car is a 16)
-2.3/9.06 pulleys
-Ported stock heads
-Kooks 2" no cats
-Alky control dual nozzle
-DSX flex sensor running full pump E85
I'm probably forgetting something but that's the bulk of it. No track time for me, car lives on the streets.

Just the OE bricks like on a '17 for example? Any idea how I can buy just the bricks? I have a LMP lid, would be curious if they fit.
