88BlueGT

4" might be a little big but I would definetly go with a 3"+ from what I have read on turbomustangs.com. I would talk to those guys over there, there are some knowledgable turbo guys over here but there are TONS over there and will help you alot.

going 76mm turbo so i can hit the high notes,,, hehe 76mm will put me up around 700-750RWHP on about 12#s boost that should be around 920FWHP the 60 and 66mm are only capable of round 700-750FWHP and my 347 breathes hard so gotta have enough flow also, i know that i will have just the slightest bit more lag than the 60 or 66 but from guys i have talked to with the 60 and 66 they dont experience "lag" b/c the engines climb so fast and push lots of air through them, so in order for me to push my lil toy to the low 10s or high 9s i gotta have the HP b/c of a vert i already start 400#s heavier than the notch, so i gotta find the ponies to take care of that!

wait... so your already running the dart block? and you dont have the turbo yet right? do you just plan on running the exhaust that comes with the hellion kit?

ih8chevy

first off my man with our cars 550 wheel wil get u 9's, second off the canfield heads you want are the 2 something they are one hte site of camshaft innovations, so just go there and look under heads, they are real good and will flow as well as the afr 225. third off with that setup ur gonna be makin well into the 650-700 wheel hp range and u should be hittin high 8's which dont really make for a streetable car. fourth i do support the custom ground cam, for ur setup the trick flow stage 2 wont do much.

good luck

88Blue, i just got the Dart block, rebuilding right now, as for the turbo going with HP 76mm, it is still going to be a street car, DD, and see the track prolly less than 15-20 times a year, want the turbo so i can adjust boost run 8-10 on the street and 12-17 on the track depending on fuel at the time

88BlueGT

damn a DD ?!?!? I would invest a few K into another car.... you will save that in gas in the first month lol

ruger311

naw,, right now when i had fugged up rings it put down 373RWHP and 427 lb ft TQ and it got round 16-18MPG thats pretty damn good, just gotta keep my foot outta it, so with round 550RWHP on 8#s boost should get round 12 or so maybe a lil less just depends on if i see some rice up ahead or not,, should be fun, i got 3 other beaters,, hehe got a yukon xl, 64 f100 my muddin truck, and 88 camry <------ BEATER,, oh yeah and couple of motorcycles too

Hell I dont think there is a manual trans stronger than G-force that arent too pricy G- force is one of the best for trans
