Best to discuss your options/budget with Alan/Martyn @ enginetuner...

Hi matey if you are look at Scoobynet BHP leaderboard,almost everyone running 2.35 and Garrett GT35r and at least 650BHP,that's my thoughts
But i will recommend this discuss with Alan J or other engine builder

By my post I meant that a specialist will be best source to lean on for any advice re. a new build as they are the experts, and have been there, done that, and knows what works, etc.

The reason why I mentioned enginetuner again, was that he's (presumably?) gone to them for his existing engine, so it's not unreasonable to assume that he's in close proximity to them (plus the fact he's used to their way of dealing with him as a customer, etc., etc.).

EXACTLY! If they have already built your engine why not ask what they think. I'm sure getting it to that figure won't be hard but it will empty your pocket a little
