Thinking about a mild build

Was thinking about a mild/reliable build and wanted some input from people. 350-360hp. Anything else you think I would need, please comment.

Would want:
-Forged pistons (to solve the possibility of piston failures we've seen)
-78# Springs with Retainers? (to help with the high boost)
-ZZP EFR Turbo or Precision Turbo Upgrade (basically looking for a bolt-on turbo upgrade, looks like the EFR when it comes out will be the one.)
-ZZP Stage 4 clutch
-ZZP Intercooler

Would need?:
-New Headstuds
-New Flywheel Bolts
-New Head Gasket

Currently have:
-Trifecta tune
-K&N SRI
-Hot Side Charge Pipe
-Hahn high flow catted dp
-GM Stage 1 MAP Sensors

Thank you, didn't know they never went through with the 2860, it is on their website. I'll look into ZZP's bolt up turbo that has been talked about.

all you need is a zzp s252 turbo kit and a clutch and you are ready to dock. 400 whp and the motor will be just fine. Screw all this bnr bs people always state. S252 spools quick, hand hangs strong up top. The bnr turbo are a good option if you want to throw your money away. Also the 252 will be able to be turned up on the occasion, say your going to a meet and want a little extra, turn it up and there you go. Stock motor will live a long time at 425-450whp.

it's up on their site but they just realized it wasnt worth it .. the 2871 on the other hand is definitely worth it

.... common man .. really your gonna bash after seeing the numbers the 2871 put down.. it's not throwing his money away.. that turbo will get him to where he wants and much more..

even zzp has said the 2871 is a good turbo for something they wont offer.. without going new turbo kit (which is more expensive then just the bnr turbo)

I just want a bolt-up turbo. I would put the pistons in for sanity, after seeing the ringland failures people are having. I was looking through the 2871, but I don't want to have to deal with a BOV. I am thinking that the ZZP EFR turbo is my best bet if/when it comes out. I can probably do without the valve springs and retainers, but I see the pistons as a must.

I see the springs as more of an issue than the pistons.

I'd just buy the kit from ZZP and call it a day, that way when you want more power you can easily have it

Instead of swapping turbos out, etc
