Max boost/power, built motor
Max boost/power, built motor Hello,
I have 98 T/A. Motor has forged probe pistons, eagle rods, stock crank, arp hardware, cartek 243 heads, gm mls head gasket. Compression ratio is close to stock. I'm not sure what piston rings were used ( I didn't build the motor originally).
I'm thinking about going boost with a front mount turbo. Something around a t76. What boost/power levels could I safely get out if that motor
Also, cam is a 227/232 6.1x/5.9x, 110+1. how would that cam do with a front mount?

Its really gonna depend on the fuel you wanna use. The issues I see with real big power are the 243s and the cam will bleed off boost up top at a certain point. Also head studs? and any way to find out what top ring it has?
I would like to stick with 93 oct. I don't have e85 available around me. The head bolts are stock to my knowledge, but it does have arp rod bolts and main studs. I'm not looking for crazy power, but I would like to be able to get around 600 rwhp safely. If I can't do that, then I'll just spray it with 100shot and call it day.
Not really any way to verify rings without pulling the motor apart. And I would perfer not to for obvious reasons.

Fwiw my buddy just made 644rwhp with a d1 procharger, custom blower cam, headers and a Shitty flow master catback. Stock bottom end, stock 853 heads, ls1 intake. 12 psi. 93 no meth.
