Hogans will beat that price for the intake and make it look prettier <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I saw someone that was making a intake but didnt see any pricing. I honestly love my hogan as it is built for my ci application and so forth.

As for books Corky Bells book "Maxximum Boost" is very good.
There is another one but i forget it right now.

PT-88 for a street car!?
That's darn big IMO, I guess if are trying to go high 8's in a 3500lb car you may need it.
A 3 bolt PT 70-1 can push a 3500lb car into the high 9's!
Look here to get an idea how much hp a given turbo will support. ie 4 bolt PT-88 1050hp!

Ian, as for the heads, just a set of good stock ported ones will do just fine. Most of your work should go into the bottom end. Ultimately you can always crank the boost up if the engine VE is down. But you want that sucker to stay together...

I think a t88 might be a little lagy, but that doesn't bother me as my car is an automatic. Automatic = holds boost between shifts. My ultimate goal isn't 3500 lbs and 1000+rwhp

It's 2800 lbs and 1000+rwhp. hehehe.

So your goal is like mine then <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> alien.. I think I have the package and if not the new motor will go in faster <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I just gotta go back and see how everything is coming out though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

1k hp and 2800 is insane stuff <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but oh so much fun
