Opinions on my new setup.... Anything you see that you would do different....
Engine- new 6.0L Block, new stock crank gun drilled, eagle 4340 H-beam rods, JE dished pistons, ARP L19 rod bolts, arp main studs, roll master double roller chain, LS6 ported/polished oil pump, tsp 7.4in hardened pushrods, comp OEM lifters, yella terra rockers, asp pulley. Block is being cut for o-rings, and using cometic head gasket along with ARP head studs.
Cam- 230/236 .590/.578 114lsa + 2
Heads- PP Stage 3 LS6 heads (2.08/1.6 valves)
Exhaust- Pacesetter 1.75in headers, 3.5 in all the way back to the turbo.
Ported LS6 intake, ported TB, ported maf(also have stock in case)
Turbo- Master Power T70 with .96 AR(or .81 haven't decided). The turbo will be setup up similar to the STS turbo at the rear of the car.
Tial 40mm wastegate
Tial 50mm bov
Mocal External oil pump, custom oil sump and external oil filter and cooler assy for the turbo.
SKid plates for the turbo and air filter, this will help keep water and debri's away.
No intercooler for now but will be using meth injection.
Fuel system is yet to be determined.
Trans- stock with YankSS4000 converter.
Rear- Stock with 3.73's.
What do you think of this setup and how do you think it will do with 20lbs of boost at the track? I'll probly be running 6lbs or boost around town but would like to run 20 or so at the track. We are shooting for around 8.6:1 - 9:1 compression. Opinions please...

From: CT,
well im not to sure on the turbo being in the rear of the car , though people have had good results, the heads (stage 3) seem alittle over kill for a 370 vubed motor, that cam may not be the best one for a turbo, eagle makes some nice rods but there are some better and lighter I beam rods available. what exactly are your gonna be doing with the car , are you trying to get a good street strip car or what. with an ss4000 stall and 373 you will probable need 27 to 28 inch tires for the turbo .
To me you are talking about some very good parts but it may be alot of overkill to probale get you to where you want to be.
Just my opinion. good luck nomatter what you choose.

I was running the stage 3 heads and that cam along with the converter on my NA setup(stock cubes) is the reason they are going on the turbo car. I agree with you on the cam not being the best for the turbo but I think I'll use it for a short while to save a little money until I have the car up and running then I can swap it out. The car will be used as a street stip car like you mentioned.
