Default Turbo selection / nos curious

Hi guys I'm looking a 427 - 454 cube build with a nicely sized single turbo to go with it, looking for around 800 - 1100 atw and considering a bit of nos thrown into the mix but it's like a really hot slutty girl to me, I wanna go it but I'm scared of the consequences, any one running a similar combo or have a build thread to check out, fuel won't be an issue ill be running meth

Nos? You mean nitrous?

And what fuel setup are you going to run?

Running meth doesn't mean anything really if you don't have a proper fuel system that can flow

No, I was expecting background of what you have done to your fuel system to support 1000k hp since your first post was super vague.. Stating you have "meth" means nothing..

Your not going to get any replies without giving some information on your car..

Anyway good luck

Why nitrous? You wont need nitrous at all with those cubes and a good size T6 turbo.

The only reason you would need nitrous is if your like me and blew your 6.o up and had to put a 4.8 in the car with same turbo you had on a bigger motor. Its usually just used as a crutch you wont need it with the right setup. But it does help don't get me wrong.

410-427ci and the right mid-frame 88mm is all you need to make and pass your goals granted it will not be a cheap 410-427ci motor.
