Yea I'm sure its gonna wake up alot when I turn the boost up. Right now @5psi it feels a little slower than my old 383sbc 76mm on 10psi. Its definitely an 11second car the way it is now. I'm very pleased

Just out of curiosity, I'm not a turbo guru or anything, but i have to ask why the carburator instead of fuel inj. doesn't having a carb limit your tuneability, or am i off base here, I want to do a Turbo 6.0 in one of my 3rd gens and was trippin on the carb set up, can you explain it to me in laymans terms if you dont mind, nice set up by the way!!!

Thanks! As far as "why" I went with a carb, that's easy it was cheaper for me. I already had the carb from my previous setup, so all I needed was the msd box to fire the coils and the carb style intake manifold. If I went with fuel injection I'd have to buy computer, harness, rails, injectors, throttle body, etc and probably have to pay someone to tune it. As far as tune-ability goes, the carburetor is very tunable. Just things have to be done manually rather than with a laptop. Jet change here, airbleed there, emulsion jets power valves etc. You do lose some fuel economy as the carbs setups generally tend to run richer across the board. One of the advantages to running a carb is that they almost always make more power than a comparable fi setup, the reason being the atomized fuel in the intake manifold helps to further cool the intake charge as opposed to an fi setup where the fuel is introduced at the intake port.
Hope that clears some things up for you! One cool thing about this setup is it shouldn't be hard to switch to fi, just need rails, injectors, throttle body and megasquirt!

Nice! She's up to 14 Psi now, traction is a major issue at the moment, just bakes em at 60+ MPH in 4th! Gonna try and get some more Vids up soon. Definitely time to dyno it as well!
