Not saying I wouldn't like more power but the real limit for me is reliability. I have mapped the budget out for the whole car and it seems I will be pretty much dead even on cash with setting for a future transmission upgrade.
How should I fuel this beast? A 255 walbro? Someone also mentioned a racetronix setup.

Definitely going to keep it in the 450-500hp range for a while though, all I have ever had were mild bolt on cars and lately I have been rolling in a lifted F250. Jumping straight up to 700hp would not be a smart idea for me.

Man you've got a lot to learn about Turbo charging lol you need to find a pressure source and plumb it into the center section of the Turbo, also need a drain to the oil pan.

How IN THE HELL do you find a '80-'81 Turbo TA in this day and age with the 301 and the garbage that goes with it intact? I know it's junk but, kinda funny(and cool) to see such "fossils". LOL March on with the project.
