Here are some pictures of my Speedcraft setup taken over a year ago. The valve cover was scratched, so it had to be painted. You can see the Speedcraft manifold, piping and turbo. Notice the relocated oil filter. The intercooler was painted black.

I have recently made some ignition changes and added a Canton Oil Filter.

Wow! that is incredible.
First off, Thanks for the pictures.
I assume you used race fuel for the dyno? What turbo are you running? Do the different coils help a lot?
That is a sweet setup I only hope mine gets anywhere close to that. I just got KIT's used speecraft kit.
The kit I bought has:
Brand New T3 60-1 Hi-Fi Ball Bearing Turbo with a .58 exhaust housing
New Jet hot coated Speedcraft manifold with EGT fitting and coated dump tube for the wastegate
Tial 46mm External Wastegate
Spearco Intercooler
Intercooler Piping Painted Black
Greddy Type S BOV
I would be happy with over 400 rwhp.

We used 116 leaded for those dyno runs. It is the same turbo that you have but on a built 9:1 compression motor with no flow bench work.
The MSD DIS-4 and coils made a huge difference in reliability and allowed me to go over 500 hp.
Bigpurp, let me know if you still can't get the pics.

Got the pics now. Thanks yakrat. 
This may be a dumb question, but what are the "reliability" issues with the stock ignition on a turbo setup making 400-500 whp?
BTW, you may want to consider getting one of those heatshields for the front of the block, since your filter sits right in front of it. I know mine gets pretty hot (even with vented hood), and it sits further away than yours.
