I really meant about the type of driving you will be doing. I would say an 88 would be about the smallest I would go on a motor that large. A small turbo like that will be good for a hi tq, low rpm street car but if you want efficiency your gonna need to step up to atleast an 88mm turbo.

Hate to sound like a broken record, our 390 would be a better choice then 408 with that head unit, and stronger. Its designed specifically for small frame turbocharger and D1SC, S-trim, novi 2000 etc

A 408 would choke like a rock with a 76mm turbo.

You need something in the 88-91 range. Something like this would fit the bill....
