Turbo headers Ive seen a few kits in my time. Do log manifolds work as well or better then a tubular header? Ive seen them both ways and ive also seen them mismatches.
What is the possible issues or hp levels that one can achieve with say a 76mm, log manifold on drivers side and a tubular one one the other using 2.5" crossover tubing to a 4" DP?

I would depend on the log I think. If it was something like TTi's street kit with an 88 on an LT1...I dunno...you'd probably hit problems (holding boost, cracking, etc.) before 650rw...and I think that's being gracious. It'll probably be way less than that.

but after he sold it the car was pretty much crap because of the massive back pressure issues.
the logs can support about 500rwhp but after that its iffy, sure you can push it some more but it aint good.

Well there ya go. Think about it, Harlan with his iron manifolds pushed like 15psi on good gas on a stock motor. Then with the headers he had, 25+psi on a 346. TTech (street) and Q.M.P. kits could never get anywhere close to that. The lact of efficiency kills power potential thanks to backpressure and way too much heat. Then comes the boost issues (MM?, Kaos?), and detonation. Sure...you can get them to work (Rob did), but why mess with it?

Turbo People are reputable in Jersey and the FFW cars. Especially Big Daddy's DR car.

You'd never catch a rear mounted setup on anything i own. I see yall like to bag just like I do. Is there anything that you can back your mouthes up with? 
I know my car is driving right now. Better then ever!

Touche'Yeah my car is STILL under the knife. Ran out of money and having family issues. But there are a couple of STS GTO's that are quite impressive and have really great numbers.
Just giving you shizzle.
Isn't that Phamspeed kit great?!?!? Only if they were going to get it CARB certified. I would definately re-think my options. No... maybe not.. I don't want to be without my car for another year.
Sorry for hijacking your thread.
I'm not following you...? Down for a year?
