Default PT76gts to small?

Hello all,
I'm new to the turbo stuff and have tried reading as much as my brain can handle. So my question is, will a 76 turbo be to small for a stock cube lq4? I have added ARP studs, forged rods and pistons at 9.1 comp, WCCH L92's, LS3 intake, no cam yet. I plan on just doing the single front turbo with the truck manifolds.

I want to have it as a street(pump gas) and strip(meth/c16) car. I will have it hooked up to a 4l80 and rear will be replaced when it brakes.

Thanks for any info or suggestions

Too small for what? It's too small to get the maximum amount of power from that size engine, but it'll still make good power. I'm making just about 1000hp at the flywheel on my 370 with one.

So what are guys getting out of it with or close to my setup. I'm really looking for it to be fun to drive and still get some good track times. I'm not looking for a dyno queen

I did a search on more input for the pt76gts and I know the 364/370 will max it out. But can any one let me know how it drives and times.

What cam and stall they are using also

Thanks Guys

There is a guy on here with a 364, PT7675 billet wheel, E85 and @18psi he made 8xxrhp and 8xx rwtq. It's going to be holding it back and choking it a good bit, but it will make good power and should run 9's easily if the suspension set-up and driveline are there to handle it.

Do you already have the turbo, or are you just looking for one you like the sound of? BW's billet wheel 76mm T4 turbo would be a great choice if you want to stay T4 due to engine bay size restraints. It can come with a 87mm or 92mm turbine wheel compared to the 75mm on the precision and is the same price usually as the pt7675.

Mine works good on my 370. Only had it out once to the track tuning it.. but it spools right now and works great. Based on the initial runs with it, breaking into the 8's with it is not out of the question. Drives like a normal car. vids in sig.

I found a good deal for one and would like to keep the radiator slanted for now.

I will have to upgrade the 10bolt, but for now I want to get the turbo/motor/trans done.

Im at almost 5,000ft so that will hurt my times but really want to have fun driving the car again(been 4yrs)
