Maybe this is more of what Jeff had in mind?

20B, Bridged, 12" Camden, plus nitrous

Boost is addictive. 200-230 is not enough. Trust me. Start with a stock TII motor and start building...

Really I should be getting a standalone, however it's like a stock N/A until you hit boost, So for normal driving it preforms just like it used too. For gas saving purposes.... Hard times

Both the extra fuel and the injectors are activated with a boost signal, And I was able to remove the rats nest completely! Since those solenoids control the dizzy and stock regulator.

Later on in life, I may port the exhaust ports and get a full standalone and possibly get t2 rotors to put in the 6-port but I'll never go full t2.

A benefit of going t2 is the transmission (strenght)..... My brother has a full t2 swap and it wasn't cheap to do....

Whatever you decide expect it to cost you triple, what you think it will
cost.

Man your engine looks sick! Every time I see an engine that clean and beautiful, I start foaming at the mouth. Awesome looking motor!
