Turbo sizing

I have zero experience with new gen hemi's and turbo's. I'm very interested in seeing what you find works.

Have you considered building a forged short block down the road? I would recommend it, in the event that you decide you want more power. I think your current power goals are attainable on a stock short block, but pushing much further will be in uncharted territory. Most LX guys keep it to 8 psi (or 10-12 psi if they're gambling men) on stock short blocks. Forged motors with head studs still lift heads somewhere at or after 20 psi, though.

What aftermarket K member are you planning on using?

Have you considered running the truck or jeep 5.7 log manifolds? Pointing them forward?

Hi Uhcoog1,

Did you happen to look at my thread I linked to in the original post? I answered a few of these questions, manifolds, etc. I don't have any current intention to build a shortblock to up the boost. Due to the fact these power levels, 500-600 hp, will already be pushing the usable limit in a street car I don't really see any point in more. You can see the details of my build, k-frame/etc here. Thanks for your input.
