Default t76 and pt4000.....

I know the pt4000 from yank isn't exactly a turbo friendly converter but I think I'm going to have to run it for a while with my t76 setup. Will it rev to fast for the t76? And will I be blowing through the converter?

Its going to blow right though that converter. I was able to trade my pt4000 for a py3600. I would suggest you try to do the same.

Basically imagine a 5500 stall on a n/a setup...

I had a PI 2800 that flashed to 5200 with a T76.

I think a SS3600 would be pushing it with the torque/horsepower youll be at...

When I had the stock 346 with F14 cam, D1 set-up with 14psi and an ss4000, it worked pretty well. 680rwhp and ran 10.1-10.3 with a top mph of 138. The ss4000 actually worked pretty good with my set-up.
