I went with a bit smaller turbo from what I originally showed in the thread. The main reason being is that I am still learning the whole FI process and knowing that my short block is only good for so much I wanted to make sure any turbo set-up I have maxes out before I grenade the engine. In this case the 67mm I replaced the 74mm with maxes out at about 650 to 700 hp before the IAT get out of control and a need a ridiculous intercooler. Right now I am shooting for 600 engine HP. I believe I will get there fairly easily and this thing will be like insta-spool!
I mapped it for massive torque without crazy Rs and am hoping my combo pays off. Since it is still a T4 flange I can always go back to the biggun...but right now I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have also heard really good things about the LS9 cam in milder builds which I believe mine still falls under. I am not too worried right now on the transmission. The gentleman who built it races them exclusively and gave me the list of parts that was put in this thing and how it was prepped. He also backed it up with any and all support necessary should I have any problems. With dedication like that, how can I complain?!!
Currently I am limited by my injectors anyway, I just want to get started so mathematically I am just going test out 6lbs of boost...then go from there.
We'll see though. I can't wait till the day she fires up again on her own.
