T4 headers rule out the Turbo Buick specific 3 bolt turbos. Maybe you can get a T4 version of the TE44. That's all you need to 11s.

SignUp Now!600 hp at 17 lb boost dose not = quick spoolUp to 600 HP and fairly quick spool up. Car has no roll bar and never will so more HP is a waist.
Ok, but I'll take the 600@17 psi over the 600@25-30 every day of the week.600 hp at 17 lb boost dose not = quick spool
600 hp at 25 -30 lb boost with a gen I 6262 BB = quick spool
I have no fear of boost. I just don't see the point in making more power than I need. With my cam and ported heads and intake as well as compression it's not a stretch to think that it will make 240-250 HP without boost. Then add 15-17 psi and probably close to 500 HP. Boost is just a measure of restriction. An engine that flows more air requires lest boost to make the same power. I'll be happy with hp between 500-600.You seem to have an irrational fear of boost. Your engine is very capable of 30+ lbs of boost with proper tune and fueling.
Why not add a Razor's alky injection kit for good measure?I have no fear of boost. I just don't see the point in making more power than I need.

The lower the boost the cooler the intake air temp and the less chance of detonation on pump gas.

I have a stretched slic intercooler and may go with an air to water. My valve train is good. 46 mm external W.G id like to be in the $2k area if possible. I have an excellent tuner who will be setting up my tune.If you know what performance level you’re looking for I can get you into something that will spool as fast as possible for the amount of mass flow it will support. You can’t have any restrictive points if you want to make power. This includes the intercooler and valvetrain.
