that also can limit your choise.... lol but i dont think he mentioned a budget

**blkp42e** · 06-20-2007, 01:00 PM

yea. but it's still something that should probably be considered. especially with the supporting mods (fuel) required/tuning

Nice thing about a turbo is you can control boost easier which will allow you to run less boost with better results than a supercharger. Boost for boost a turbo will produce more HP and TQ. I had a procharger and was happy with it for the most part, I was running 13#s of boost and had about 511 rwhp, but that was with a new belt at 6200 rpm's, after the belt stretched it would drop to 10#s. There was also belt slippage and alot of belt dust always on my motor, I got tired of that so that's why I went turbo this time. Terry took me for a ride in a 01 Bullitt he built with a 66mm helion kit, car hardly had any timing in it 12* and was only running 9#s of boost, and that car was just plain nasty, could only imagine what it's going to be like when he turns up the boost and gets the tune dialed in, and thats on a 2 valve.

money is an issue for me but i want to do it right the first time so that later on down the road i dont decide i want something different and have to spend even more money. turbo is pretty much out. i dont have the 8 grand for a TT kit so thats out. id love to not have to spend 5 grand on a KB but i have a feeling thats what im gonna want.

Roslyn Heights. Go up Campbells Run about 100 ft across the bus way. Turn right on railroad. Up on top of that hill. I can look at the Condo's on the other side of campbells run.

i have a bunch of friends that live up around you. i think i saw u at family video last summer. do you have a red 5.0?

**blkp42e** · 06-20-2007, 11:34 PM

have a local shop fab you a kit up? im sure Domination could make you a kit. or buy used? only thing that you could need to buy that may be worn out is new turbos and that wont be much of a problem.

Thats possible. I was there 2 or 3 times. Yes, I do have a red 5.0

Also, I am doing my twins for around a grand. 2 tops. tuning will be about the same cost as the turbos. So a total of way less than 2 G's and I will be boosted.

**Jcelli04** · 06-21-2007, 12:09 AM

well you need to let me know how abouts your doing that because twin turbos would be nice

HAHAH I figured you would say something like that. Turbo's are the cheap part. I can fab your pipes after I do mine and get the way that I want them to go. You can see how it looks. Thats this winter's project. I am gathering parts right now. Just need to get another set of shortie headers. I sold mine and put long tubes on. Now I need the shortie ones back. HAHA Gotta do some more shopping.

I wish my twin turbo project was 2 grand, I have over 5 grand in parts alone.
