4340 chromoly is some tough stuff. Do ya think 20 lbs of boost is necessary on a street car ? That's pushing it pretty hard. Do you have an MSD 6AL box or Mallory ignition system? Might want a holley blue pump with that set up. Either way, sounds bad azz.

The crank and cylinders sound good. A red pump is only good to 4-5 PSI fuel pressure, IIRC, you will probably need something bigger.
