Default midframe 78 made it in now need some input!

well after a long wait for the turbo... it is finally here!!!
THANKS ROB @ MODULAR TURBO
turbonetics midframe h78mm with 75mm F1 turbine and the Y2K compressor cover.. its on a T4 flange with a 1.14 AR..

its goin on a 2004 GTO with forged LS1 347 9.5 to 1with a VA speed turbo cam backed by a 4l80e (still need) and a full gforce engineering IRS rear.

now i need to start looking at heads i want to run some AFR 225s with 62cc chambers.. but dont see them on the site anymore they now offer a 230 head and want to know if thats goin to be too big of head for a 347

goal is to go 9s and get close to the 140 traps.. hopefully i can keep her under 4000lbs..

let me know what you think..

Cool, I had Turbonetics build me a 82mm F-1 mid frame Turbo for my system.

So far at only 15lbs of boost I am at 147mph traps.

You should have no problem hitting 140 in the 1/4 with that turbo.

You should be closer to 150 at 4000 and that setup. My race weight is a couple 100 more and I went 136 on a tiny TC76. I should be 142 or so now with the 7875.

The 230's are just an updated version of the 225's. Out of the box I was told the 230's make 8-10bhp over the 225's on most N/A setups so they are very similar. I just bought a used set of 225's myself. Ed Curtis is taking care of them for me. Should be pretty sick.



I too think you will be closer to 150mph on that setup with some good fuel and suspension. You are seriously underestimating what kind of power you are going to be putting down with an auto haha.
