Default Hey, what do you guys think?

fOR A 418Ls2 build, or 6.2 when its out, that is, what should i use as my choice of Forced Induction?
Every day street car, comp ratio will be with that of using f.i. in mind, looking to use a beefy m6 and stout Moser rear..9" most liekly..
I was thinkin d-1sc procharger, but then i heard ill slip belts and constantly blow bad times..cuz a turbo is easier to maintain and tune, less worries.
So i was thikin a nice 76'er turbo. I am leaning into the turbo w/ air to air i/c...
Remember, my engine will also run on pump gas.. and most likely never see the track more than 2 or 3x in a year...

I really like the STS myself. I have a T-70 and could not ask for anything better. Just my 2 cents.

The ATI ProCharger D-1SC with the eight rib belt assembly has worked out very well for us up to 14 pounds of boost, without having belt slippage problems. It is easy to tune and to maintain.
A good turbo kit can make a lot of power, but is harder to get off the line with an M6. You will more than likely end up having more money into a well built turbo kit.
Since you are going to hardly ever be at the track, you have to determine how much power you really want to make, and how much money you want to put into it. Bob

dont know if youll make that much boost with the D1, but there are a few members here running big cubes and a d1, i think black ls1/ta has a 422 with a d1 making some good numbers.
but if you want a turbo then id look for a T6 flanged unit with around a 1.15 AR
unless you dont plan boosting to high then you might get away with an .96 AR

The TTi race kit is a very tried and true kit. Not alot of TTi leg humpers on this board though. Speed Inc used the TTi race kit hot parts on their turbo kit, but with an A2A FMIC. Might wanna look theirs up too.
