Look what came in the mail today
My plan is to only run about 6psi. The turbo is a turbonetics turbo that was built for the grand national motor. The carb I am still unsure on what I want to run. I want to run a 2 barrel but I am not sure if I should go with a 350cfm or 500cfm. I am leaning towards the 350cfm. I am only hoping for around 200hp and something that is just fun to drive around.
I think your plan is a good one. "Only" six pounds of boost doesn't sound like much, but I am here to tell you that our car, with 8 pounds of boost, is anything but slow. Nail it and when the boost gauge indicates 8 psi, it feels like a pretty lively ride. Definitely, a fun car to drive!:blob:
I believe that a 350 2bbl would probably give you better around-town driveability, and would allow for some air-management increases later on. Ryan ran some low 11's with his secondaries disconnected (his carb is a 650 Holley, I think) so that's like a 325 carb, on 2 barrells. You can always go bigger, later on, if you need to.
Keep usw in the loop; I am very much interested in your progress.
We had planned to do some work on re-positioning our waste gate tomorrow (welding the standpipe} but, Freddie developed heart palpitations and is going to have to see the doctor and possibly get his heart shocked back into the proper rhythm, tomorrow, so, we'll see.
Stay tuned...
