First turbo build
Ok since i dont know jack about turbos..but im still gonna do this.. i have been doing research for the past few weeks ,but anyhow basic rundown of what im working with.. 355 forged pistons,total seal TSS rings ill prolly get a set of hell fires,4340 lunati promod rods,steel crank, cam is undecided my old one was trashed, dart platinum 200cc intake heads, holley stealth ram efi speed density. I blew the first tranny apart before i was finished tuning it....then got water in the oil do to the bad intake gasket.. so it trashed the bottom end and cam im in the process of revuilding it.Im thinking a single t-76 running through a th-400 im shooting for 600 at the wheels and be drivable on the street so any input would be great! I've watched a few ppl on here do turbo builds https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/powe...blow-thru.html I hadnt messed with this car for awhile do to being fed up...lol but i found out about a week ago theres a new dragstrip goin in about 8 miles from my house.. so i figured it was time to play again..lol and if you all think 600 at the wheels is not doable with this setup.. im very open to suggestions

Re: First turbo build
sounds good! saw you are looking to do a t56 swap,,, i have tremec 5speed in mine and i haven't had a chance to hit the track yet, but an automatic may be better for you. Ask around, it may spool better with the auto.

Re: First turbo build
Run a TH400 and some good gears in the back (3.05-3.55) should do well on the highway too. Or pickup a 4l80e and have OD
