turbo build Need some help guys. I plan on buying a 402 stoker shortblock from texas speed. Then put some L92 heads on it with a LS3 intake ported by BER. Whta turbo kits are out there?
I heard about Huron speed and On 3 performance. What do you guys recommend? What size ? T4 or T6 flange? 88mm or 90 mm turbo a good size? Should I change my intake setup to a eldelbrock vic jr or a holley high ram? chime in. noobie to LS forced induction. Previious setup was stock bottom end with heads and cam, fast 90/90 and nitrous 150 shot. Looking for a streetable build and make 800 hp

i had a tx speed 402 with 10.25:1cr and 317 heads, vic jr & elbow, brute speed/epp blower cam & truck manifold setup with ebay 4" i/c and a garrett gt47-88 turbo (1.23ar) through a th400 & 9" that made 700rwhp on 11psi and 93 oct, 949rwhp on 22psi and 110 oct. you can easily make the power you're looking for with a BW s480 (T6 turbo for that many cubes imo) if you need to keep the cost down some and has enough ***** to get you deep in the 8's. hope that helps some.

There seems to be a LOT of people coming here in the last week thinking theres one single answer for which turbo they need or which cam to use.
Look at what the vendors offer for turbo cams, or ask them about getting one custom made for your application. No single cam is going to be better than every other cam unless its made just for you.

Verdad Gallardo definitely get one spec'd out. for me, i went with an off the shelf cam i got new/second hand and knew it had done very well in many other 400" applications. it was the brute speed/epp blower cam. but i'm Sure there was power left on the table by not having one custom spec'd for a turbo application, but i was plenty happy with it and would use one again and they're easy to sell since they're popular, if you ever wanted to get something else.
