Default Race Truck Manifold Setup

Hey guys I just purchased a fresh 403 iron block boost motor. Now this is a budget build but how much would a truck manifold setup cost me? Can someone point me in the right direction where to look and the avg price? Also what turbo size is recommended. The car is a drag car with NO street time. I would love to find something used.

You can usually pick the manifolds up for $75 bucks or so. Look in the for sale section here or check ebay. The rest of the work to get the two manifolds into the turbo shouldn't be much.

KYTP sells a truck manifold kit, google it.

The truck manifold turbo sticky at the top of the page has quite a few different methods of doing a turbo set up with truck manifolds.

I just found that, thanks. How much boost can I run with 9:1 compression.

whatever boost your tune and engine components allow...but 15psi should be easy.
