If youve done all you say you have then you should have no problem coming up with a combo yourself... Might want to try the 9sec club... thats what youll need to get the time you want.

If you are serious call a few well known shops on here and talk to them. Asking random people on the internet is going to get you random responses.

I AM NEW TO (TURBOS) i have owned plenty of Nitrous Cars...and i own a low 9 second Z06 nitrous car.

the 9 second club cant really help me out.....to go low 5's inthe 1/8th mile, a car must be at least going 8.50s or better in the 1/4 mile.

My Z06 will run 5.90s and low 9s inthe 1/4.

Streetable Driver (grudge car) leaning towards a CAMARO or TA......prefer Single Turbo, and whatever CI it takes to do it.

I wanna keep the car as stock looking as possible on the inside with the exception of roll bar. I have one already in mind that will scale out around 3000lbs

It will NOT BE A CLASS CAR !!

Man look here's the hot set-up.


Guy's are running 5.40's in RS275 with CAST wheel 76's you don't need a 94 to do all that.

Get a formula firebird(lightweight to start or a stripper z) put a forged LS2 or LQ4 in there(364 c.i.) Maybe bore it out to 370, set of LSA heads or even ported and polished 317's and a GT-88 or GT-91 will do it, but so will a 94mm like Nitroused said.

Take a look at MM's combo it runs 5.50's in the 1/8 and 8.59 in the 1/4 with a 364 c.i. ERL superdeck 1, all pro 245 cc cathedral port 6 bolt heads, 4l80e, and a T4 GT91. 3700# car to boot, so with 300 less pounds I dont' see 5.30's being hard to reach.

Really depends on your Budget.

If you want it to be streetable, Run mid 5's in the 1/8th and be a single turbo combo, you have plenty of options.

I would do a simple setup. Light weight car, Stout engine, Properly matched turbo, and let it eat.

Engine:
370-390ci engine
TFS 225cc or 235cc heads
Vic Jr Intake and Elbow
90mm TB

Turbo Setup:
Precision ProMod 88
Precison 66mm WG
Headers or Manifold Hot side
Nice A2A FMIC setup

Fuel:
Holley Dominator EFI Fuel Pump
-10 feed
-8 return
Billet rails
Adjustable Fuel PSI regulator
FIC 160lb High Impedence injectors

ECM:
Stock is fine

Trans:
TH400 with a T-Brake
Suitable Stall

Car:
98-02 4th Gen F-body
Solid suspension
9" or 12 Bolt rear
Good suspension
Weight Reduction

All in all a pretty simple combo. A light weight car with a good suspension. A solid engine. Nothing exotic or uber expensive. A solid turbo setup. A solid Fuel system. At the end of the day an easy 5 second 8th mile car that is streetable. I have done similar combos for several customers with great results.

Josh has it all ironed out for you there more than I did.

This is what needs to be done. If I could change one thing on Josh's list it'd be the tranny as I am partial to overdrives and especially partial to my 80e. Thing is a beast, I don't think it can be hurt when you start throwing billet internals in them. MM ran for a full season or two(maybe) took his 80e out, had it sent to the guy that built mine and his tranny, found out it was in tip top shape still and had it sent back. That's a full hard season of racing, driving thousands of road miles, and running 8.50's out the back door. Of course a PG or TH400 can do this also, just not with the OD cruising at 75mph on the interstate at 2500-2800rpm.

Even better put it in a 240sx or a rx7 like skinnies or another member here on the forum with a 78gts. Guy with the 78gts ran low 9's on only 12.5#'s of boost. That's impressive.

A 4L80E is a killer option if built right, no doubt about it.
As for the 240SX or RX7 swap, Blehhhh. Stay Domestic.
