Is it smart???

Well...I agree to a point that a /6 with a turbo is a good idea. This comes from a guy who has won quite a bit of $$ racing the /6.

The reality is this though..it is not as simple as bolting on the turbo and going fast with it. It takes lots of tuning and patience to acheive what you want. That goes for quite a few things anyways.

If you have the patience to do it and the $$$, I say go for it. I don't believe it it is as easy or cheap as people say it is. If that were the case, more people would do it.

Oh yeah..the 7.25 rear holding up behind a turbo /6? Not for long. A 7.25 will hold up to it for a while if it is a Sure Grip because that is what my old slant bracket car had in it. My 7.25 Sure Grip even with slicks was pretty stout. An 8.25 or 8.75 is $$$ better spent in the long run. A 7.25 peg leg is running off of borrowed time.
