After I have it setup the way I am going to run it daily, pulley selection, tuning, any misc issues.....
I'll be happy with 550/550 ish, thats kinda where I've set my expectation. If it doesn't make 500/500 ish I will be disappointed. Anyhting above 575/575 is icing on the cake
the final criteria for this build, and probably the most important, is, I don't want to have to adopt any special driving habits. In other words, get it, turn the key and go. I'm hoping for a very trouble free end result

My assumption was to run the standard LS1 stock size on the crank and just transfer over the idler setup from the 5.3/MP112 I already have...may BC has an opinion?
What pulley did you order with the 122?
My fuel system is a walbro intank fuel pump, KB Boost a Pump, and 60lb injectors rated @ 3bar.
