hah, honestly, i dont know, its somewhere lost in the price with the whole 408 motor.
call up Allan and have him quote ya. hes been doin an excellent job so far with everything, including my patients and questions. So far, hes #1 on my list.
hopefully this week we should get the other stuff like fuel and other parts to fab up the manifolds. soon as i get pics of those, it will be posted

futral is building a complete turbo setup for me, with tubular headers allowing ac and power steering to stay.
as far as specs go, i dont know them yet since its a pretty new setup.
the buildup should hopefully be done and dynoed by mid february.

im hoping for about 700 rwhp or so on pump gas with the setup. Allan said it was feesable and hopefully should not be a problem. only thing that is impressive with that, is it will have to be tuned for AZ heat and crappy 91 oct. then on race fuel, im hoping for somewhere around 850-900 rwhp with the 75 # RC inj's.
these are just goals, so i dont know exactly what i can expect from it as i have never owned a turbo car.
do my goals seem realisitic?
