So I will be in the market for a set of turbos here in the future. I have a goal of about 850rwhp. I am just wanting to make sure I get the correct turbos from the get go. What are my choices?

The car will be a street/strip car that will see digs and rolls. Here is the set up:
02 z28 m6
built 8.8 rear end with 3.55's
iron 5.3
full ARP hardware
OEM crank
eagle h-beams
Wiseco 3.800 pistons 2.20cc dish
317 heads
.041 HG
~9.15:1 compression (depending on the deck height)
custom LJMS cam (still waiting on the custom grind numbers)
vic jr w/ Aarons elbow and NW 92mm TB
lonnies double pumper w/ line kit
Bosch 127's
Huron speed v2 t4 hot/cold side piping

I have talked with Huron and they say BW's will not work with their TT kit due to how the BW turbo is set up. I was thinking of going with the 6266's E-series with a .68 ar. If there are other, better options out there, I would love to hear them. Even the "budget" turbos I will take into consideration.

How hard do you want to rev it?

Looking to stay around 65-6700

So you're looking at like a 218-220 profile, or a little rowdier??

I have no clue what LJMS is working up at this point. Last I talked to him he said he was behind on his orders.

Do you have to go twins? A single could easily get you the number you want and still be small enough to easily package and spool well. Just so food for thought to make this a little easier.

Only thing about that is I think John (LJMS) has already started the grind on my cam for a twin setup. I just cannot check my e-mail right now because yahoo is messing up so I cannot see if he has e-mailed me back.

So, with some persuasion and saving money... I am thinking about going to Hurons V1 truck manifold kit. I just hope it's not too late on my cam.

I don't think it will be a huge killer. I mean hell at 850 you could probably stretch an ls6 cam or even just a basic non-turbo cam. It won't be a 100% ideal setup but it isn't going to hurt your setup either.

I've already paid for the custom cam so I am hoping it hasn't been started yet and John can just change what he needs to.

I made 870whp with a stock LS1 Cam, intake, on twins.


Dont overthink it!

Haha, that is my down fall. I tend of over think things. I just want to be able to do it right the first time.

I'd buy a mig/tig welder and a tank before a turbo kit, that way anything that comes up you already built up some experience with the torch, plus it can make you some money

I already have a few friends that have those available.

I used twin 7265s from vsracing with a .68 a/r on my stock ls1 and then my 5.3 currently with just some random rather large cam and on 16psi and 4kish race weight it went 140mph.

They spool instantly with the 5.3. Zero lag which kinda surprised me haha. Pretty badass none the less.
