370 turbo build questions Well I know this has been asked too many times, but in the last 2 weeks I have lost virtually everything in massive flooding including my house shop and cars. I had to go to wal-mart and buy a laptop and use wifi at mcdonalds to pass the time until the water went down. my whole county is declared a national disaster area and all I have left is my Trailblazer ss that was at higher ground in storage. I am trying to keep my mind off the problems ahead and when I am on here its my therapy being with great people with the same interest......
I have a 2007 TBSS with a iron 370 and a set of PRC 227 heads 10.1 comp. cam is 229/234 113+4, trans is a 4l80e and FTI 3600 converter stock 4.10 gears and I have decided to add a turbo and this is all new to me I come from the nitrous game. what would be the most cost effective turbo ? I would like to make 700RWHP and room to grow ? I have been reading everything I can find turbo related and it is becoming confusing so much stuff contradicts itself from one site to the next, so here I am ? sorry for the book had to get it off my chest.

You cant go wrong with a bw s480, gt-88, gt-91. Whatever you decide I would make sure its a t6 flange so that when you decide to push it you dont have to redo the kit because you went t4.

That turbo with the 1.32 will spool great with the base power you are making with those heads and compression. With that stall I'd bet you will not feel any or much lag.

I feel your pain man. I lost my 1996 impala ss and my 1987 buick t-type in hurricane Katrina.
We can get you ironed out with you TBSS. You should be good with all you have on the truck but 2 things stand out to me.
1. I would talk to Martin@Tick or Geoff@EPS and see if your cam or another will be more optimal for a turbo setup
2. Where the hell you going to put the turbo?! There isn't much room under the hood of a TBSS
