Default Help me pick out a turbo.

I need help picking out a turbo. It will be going into a 2000 Camaro SS with a forged 390. So any help is appreciated. My goal is 1000whp on pump gas if its possible. If I'm missing any info and you need more just let me know thanks guys.

GT55-94 and call it a day. We love them and they will make silly amounts of power, spool great and are reliable units.

If your on a budget, then go with our S91 BW unit. Its a complete beast and will make close to 1000rwhp on pump with the right setup.

So I'm looking at about 1500 to spend on a turbo at max ideally. Of course if there's something that is allot better for a couple more hundred I would put the extra cash out.

S91 would be the ticket for what your trying to do and price point is very close.

I'm surprised no 1 else has came to give me their opinions. I'm not ready to buy yet. Low on money after buying the short block. Thanks I will order a turbo through you all soon.

The S91, GT88 and GT91 are all great chargers and all will work well. Just depends on your pocket book and if thats not a problem, then look at space. The GT88 and GT91 are a little smaller then the S91, but the S91 will have less backpressure.

Many folks on here stand them up. If your looking for a setup that makes power and good for daily driving, look up mightymouse on this forum. He goes by that screen name. His car is a true driver and absolutely throws it down at the track.
