with a 76GTQ turbo,

I made 611 rwhp and 700 rwtq on a Mustang Dyno loaded for 3,800 lbs recently.

Boost was 16 psi... Tuned conservatively, with the meth injection nozzle halfway clogged... I didn't notice the ******* thing until two weeks after the retune.

Anyway, that's with Aeromotive rails, 60# injectors, and twin Walbro 340's.

Regardless of boost pressure, your turbo is going to become a problem if you push it any further...

On a V8, I don't see that turbo hitting your goal... Now, a 67/T-70 and you can hit 500 rwhp with the right fuel, probably at the same boost pressure you're at now, too.

Mine was a T6 GT47-88 turbo, 867rwhp with 25 psi. Not sure on 16 psi, but you could probably work out the match. 15 psi is double the air, so if I made 350rwhp with my engine then I might have been at 700rwhp with 15-16 psi. Something like that. Your current turbo looks too small, I'd go bigger, gonna, have to see what fits.

You just wanna make 800rwhp or do you have an ET in mind?

I'd talk to Jose @ Forced Inductions. He knows what he's sold, what's worked, etc. I know 1-2 folks who have run that TC78 or whatever it's called and it's put out some strong numbers.

I'll second that, call FI. Also 120mph is a pretty good trap speed for the number really.

i am not very interested in et's, this is just my summer dd, just want it to have a little bit more power.

a tc78 is a t4 or a t6 turbo ?

i can get a pretty good deal on precision turbo's if you guys can point out the one that will work for me the best that would be great. thanks

more boost on a different turbo will def make u go from to .. but u need more fuel.

i have 60lb injectors with a hotwire kit on a walbro 255 - my numbers should explain what you should be around lol (mind u my tune isnt very good on timing, so theres a lot left on the table)

good luck with the editing of ur build man!
