If your going to do a turbo "kit' rather than just a DIY setup your looking at 7K+

thats tooo pricey... its the DIY then. lol.. the only thing i worry about is trying to get hold of the manifolds and such for a turbo setup... and also how to get back to the exhuast from the turbo... yet im still waiting to see how much i put down with the blower and nitrous. which will be a month away... i was thinking of this turbo setup as a next winter project. but we will have to see what a lil ole S trim can do.

check out Tmaturbo.com The guy does a lot of 3.8's and 5.0'sbut he custom builds the kits himself so im sure he could do some fab work for you. I have a sixer myself and was thinking about going with a 4.6 but after looking at the potential with the turbos, it made more financial sense to turn my lil sixer into a gt slayer rather than make payments for 3-4 years.
His kits come with garrets and precision turbos.

I think your gonna be happy with the S trim. Espcially with your nitrous if you have the proper suspension setup you should have enough there for 10s. MM&FF ran 10s with a full weight car, road race suspension, and something like 600 WHP.

If I were you, weight reduction would be my next step.

hey bud 700 on pump gas is insane, i dunno i havent seen a 700hp pump gas car yet but no your not going to get that unless you get a huge blower i doubt a T-trim would even make that power before being overspun, go with a nice 76mm single turbo and call it a day there no need for twin's its just twice as much, with a 76mm youll start boost at about 2500 and be at max at like 4500, got a buddy with one on a cobra and that thing is sick 12 psi, 13* of timing 91 octane and it made 550 on his break in tune, it will make 700 on race gas once the engine is broken in i would love to go turbo im going to start gathering the stuff to make one over this next year and it will be my new project next year

MPH has several non nitrous cars on pumpgas only with SQs and novi 2000s going 550-650 WHP.

Hell, they have a intecooled, stock intake, stock heads car with a novi 2000 making 60x to the tire. On a T trim its not going to be a problem. With the juice flowing though I bet you can get dammed close to 700 WHP even with the SQ.

700 WHP 2v on pump gas is not going to be easy at all, sure theres a small chance it willmake the powerbut its just NOT going to last on straitpump gas IMO.

If your spending all this money to make the poweryou cant spend a couple more dollars a gallon for what our cars at that power level should be run on? Assuming your going to be racing the car...

600rwhp is far from 700rwhp i would say those cars are maxed out super agressively tuned and ticking time bombs if im spendng 10k or more on an engine and setup to make 550-600rwhp its going to last a while
