Default thinking about going turbo?

i have an 02 z28 six speed car and was thinking about a front mount turbonetics tc78 with stock 317 heads and a ls6 cam with 8-10lbs of boost. would this work well for a dd. what wastegate and bov? would 60# injectors work with a 255 pump? let me know what you are thinking!

That combo would work very well on a DD with a 6 speed. Its an easy 525rwhp capable combo.

450 to 500.00 for 50mm wastegate and 35-38mm blowoff vlv.
tial or turbosmart. springs and pushrods also, especially if heads are used.

Get a set of good GM MLS head gaskets.
Patriot or PRC duals.
7.4 Hardened pushrods.

It is all good insurance to have for the build.

Stick with a good 38mm WG and a 50mm BOV.

Dont over complicate the build.
