S488... 408.. stock l92 heads... 13psi.. 8ish/1 compression... 7000foot da.
We went 9.53 at 13xmph 4th pass off the trailer with it popping, studdering, and nosed over on the big end (lean we found out.. it was a blow thru setup). We weren't expecting anything quite that quick our first time out.
I think you'll find that turbo to work great. Sure there may be better options... but that'll work just fine.

Keep the CI as small as possible. Especially with a 6.0 motor. The pistons come out of the bore on the bottom side and rubs the skirts off the pistons when you have a stroker crank. Keep it simple with a stock crank, good rods, and good pistons. Get a good set of heads and turn the mother fer up all the way. Buy a good fuel system before you buy the turbo kit. With an auto any car is streetable. Should run mid 5s with a heavy car even
That sounds like what I am going to do. Need to to get a factory crank or even shortblock. It will have a th400 with a good fuel setup.

I might mention it was in a backhalf'd 63 Nova... So dont give us too much credit! We didn't touch a single bar on the car and had super cheap shocks, yet it was still cutting 1.3x fairly consistanly. It was a good day at the track (track officials didn't appriciate it so much lol)
I've never seen anyone with that last name Martin. Its my mothers maiden name.... Maybe your my long lost uncle! How about a family sponsorship?
