How Much Boost ?

Well i'm thinking of getting that rear-mounted turbo, & i was wondering how much boost can my maro take with a brand new H.O. engine?

well, on an engine not designed for boost, with factory rings and such, id push 5-6 psi for regular driving, and maybe 10 psi of boost for a single track pass. but keep in mind you are going to have to upgrade your fuel delivery for the increased fuel demands.

Yeah i was going to a walboro inline fuel pump, and how much hp/tq would 5-6lbs of boost give me.

i think the 5psi is worth somewhere between 100-150hp, but dont quote me on that.

You will get a percentage increase with F.I's systems. We would need to know how much power your making now to know how much you would get and we would also need the specifications on the turbo your using.

Well the guy i bought it from said it pushes out 330rwhp, it has as a new gm 350 H.O. engine, slp headers, slp cai, and flowmaster cat-back, and i'll be buying the rear mounted turbo.

How much is the turbo going for?

It's going to cost about 4,000.

DAMN!!! You got deep pockets man?

No it's called having two jobs. i work almost everyweekend but i make about 300-400 cash, so add that ontop of my pay and i'm able to survive comfortably.

Must not get that much time to enjoy the car with 2 jobs.

on the weekends i install countertops, I usually start working by 8am and i'm done by 2pm the latest, it's pretty good money. But i've only had like 3 days off this year so far, that kind of sucks though,
