480 to 500.. Must be maps dyno and not shanes..

480-500 on what dyno? You won't get to that level on a green at DB. I would also skip the cams, valve springs, retainers, and head studs/gasket. You could meet your goals on map's dynojet/DB shootout mode without those parts and a Shane tune.

Also, fp4r's are kick ass cams for IX's. Not sure off the top of my head if the specs are different from 8 to 9, but it doesn't matter right now. GSC S2's like morningwood mentioned are also good cams, a bit bigger than the 4r's. I know the people I have talked to that have run the 4r's have commented on the quicker spool they can provide once some playing around with the MIVEC settings is done while tuning. They are definitely not too big for a green though.

Yes, the FP Green and the FP4Rs are both going to be gotten at a 5 to 10% discount, I feel they are as good as any to run for what I Want so I'm going with them since they'll be a little cheaper. As for power goals I'm not concerned with the numbers, i want it be to reliable. Shane told me my setup will make in the 475 to 500 wheel horse (corrected??) on e85 at around 30psi.
I forgot to mention the car already has a full 3 in exhaust, intake, upper and lower intercooler pipes, greddy bov, a wally 255, exedy clutch, and an AEM TRUBoost, among a few other misc. goodies.

so with that being said, can you guys provide some insight on why you would skip certain parts or what will/will not be needed? I don't want to penny pinch but spending top dollar on un necessary parts is also not wanted.

Thanks for the quick responses guys, and thanks for being so accepting of my Newb-iness!!

Because you could make that power without those parts.

Yeah man, you need some form of a built motor to be safely in that ballpark, on db or rs motors dyno's. On Maps dynojet that is doable

Ya sorry, thought I clarified, 500 corrected, roughly 425 on DB..... I am going with someting similar to Bryce's old setup on his red 9.

What do you guys suggest, for that power goal, good use on the street, and plenty of room to grow: FP 73HTA Green or a used journal bearing Red? Presuming the red is in good condition.
