Good luck with the TN POS you bought. They can't size a charger for shit as far as I an concerned.

They kept telling me my tunning was all wrong for my truck and that I needed to go to a specific tunner. I sent them pages of data logs and they still said that I was wrong. 52 psi of boost with 100+psi of drive pressure.

Not to side track or anything. Your build looks awsome. Good luck with it all. Can't wait for some #'s and times.

it's not really a t series frame, it's a 60 series frame.

I'm sure the turbo is a quality piece... and I didn't and wouldn't rely on the company itself to pick out my turbo for me, I knew what I wanted and what makes power on these cars and with some help from Jon, I figured out what would fit with how my kit is set up.

In many instances you're better of researching on your own to find out what turbo works..

and btw if you were getting too much boost, something was fucked up with your wastegate, that has nothing to do with the turbo

Just went ahead and spoke with comp cams about a custom grind... great prices...

I ordered a custom grind 22X/22X .5XX/.5XX on a 11X +2 lol I'm being sneaky :-P

Single pattern cam huh??? Interesting that's what they recommended. I've got my own theory as to a good turbo cam but if one thing is a certain, with FI pretty much anything works.

Going to try to bust out your rails tonight man.

Yea it shouldn't be too bad I woulda thought a more split with a larger exhaust duration like a 220/226 or 220/228 but hey who am I to argue, it's better than a stock cam and I will be on stock heads when this first gets together, worst comes to worst I get new heads and a bigger grind and sell this one.

1. you have a solid roller lol
2. your turbo is massive compared to mine
3. you have a 383
4. you have ported aftermarket heads

1. Mine is a simple hydraulic roller
2. My turbo will spool like a mofo
3. Basic 355
4. Stock UNPORTED heads lol

So yea, you can use something that big, on my car it would be a bitch

Also remember mine is a literally every day, daily driver
