Angry Turbo Questions

Ok Im In The Middle Of Starting My Turbo Project. T76 Fmic, Is It Really Nessesary That I Do A Head Swap? Or Will The Stock 241's Do The Job? I Know Lq9s Are The Cheapest Route To Get More Power. But I Already Have Comp Cam 918 Springs. Chrome Moly Pushrods. Titanium Retainers In My 241's So I Need Some Input! Plllllllllleassse!

How much boost are you planning to run? Is this a rear-mount? What's your fuel system? You have one question, but we can throw back quite a few. Tell us more.

The 317's are used more for lowering the compression ratio.

I bought a pair off ebay complete for about 300 plus shipping. They had around 2k miles on them. I just did some hand porting then installed my 918's, rocker arms etc. I think on a stock block you will get around (edit) 9.5 to 1 CR?

if ur keeping the 241 heads then i wouldnt recommend going over 550RWHP, unless u get meth, but if u buy meth u might as well get LQ9 heads, also look at teh EBOOST-2 ive never heard a single bad thing about it, ive even heard people going from profec,hks etc to the e-boost and loving it

yea im worried about fuel to. but i think i got it figured out. 60lb injectors. 255 pump. and a kenne bell boost a pump. im pretty sure that should be good for 600-700 wheel. if not.. then 2, 255 pumps. my buddy tony has 2 pumps. an those injectors. and a front mount 76. he did 575+ wheel an no fuel issues what so ever.
