all forgot to mention and a cometic .030 head gasket
Nobody has ever blown that combo up I bet. So why don't you tell us?
Get decent bearings (Tri-metal for sure).
Get ARP head and main studs.
You'll probably want a metal intake manifold as well.
What turbo you are using will play a large role in the answer to your question.
Oh yeah, ditch the FMU and get a decent tuning system.
