I noted the use of 706's. I was just wondering what others have done with these with larger 80mm+ turbos.

What AR turbine are you using?

So what does it do minus the CO2 on gate alone? Is 5.5psi the limit?

Why CO2 for such low boost ?

If it ran out that quick on the dyno, will it be any use on the road ?

Pretty cool-I am doing a 70 C10 shortbed stepside with a 5.3-havent decided on boost or not, since I have the Buick if I need boost, lol
What fuel were you running on the dyno tests

I bought the cam from a guy on here. I need to look at the specs but I think it is a 115 LSA and 606." left on intake and exhaust. I didn't know what I was doing but bought it and tried it anyways. I am running the stock truck intake and rails with 80# injectors. I believe the AR is 1.32. I bought the turbo used and that is what I was told it was. As for the CO2, I thought it would be cool. I have it wired on a three position switch so that when it is off it is running just on the gate which builds 7#'s. Then if I switch it stage one, it adds 3 more #'s on top, switch it to stage 2 and it adds 13#'s. I have only tried that on the dyno so far. On the dyno I took 110 sunoco, but cruising around on the street I just run 91 and meth. And Narxoleptic, thanks for posting the build thread.

Here is my first video on this truck
