running a turbo setup n/a well ive pretty much spent my budget for the year and i was wondering how my car might run n/a until i can get my turbo. its a built 370 with around 9.5 to 1 comp, ls3 heads and the cam is- duration 235/231, lsa is 115, and the lift is .621int/.617exh. i also have the holley dominator efi computer. i have a feeling the intake might kill me, its the new holley high ram intake. also i dont think ill be doing any dragracing until i get my turbo, mostly just going to the car cruises, witch is about 20 miles.
For going on cruises you will be totally fine. When it comes down to it you will still be faster than a stock fbody and most mustangs. Those cruise to shows all day.

You still have decent compression and nothing is too wild in your setup. The Manifold might give up a little on the bottom end but it should be a screamer.
I built a low compression turbo SBC a few years back and tried to run it without the turbo due to lack of $$$ and it was a dog. Once the turbo was i place it was a monster. I learned my lesson. The next motor was 9.5/1 CR and ran great on and off boost.
You'll be fine.
