Yeah, I would definitely watch the duty cycle, those 42's may be a little small. I have 42's also, and am seriously considering a set of 60lb injectors, better safe than sorry. That is a really nice sounding setup, should run like a champ when it's all done and tuned up.

injectors are high on the list of parts to be replace, with a new converter and a tranny rebuild

That's awesome news man, don't wanna smoke the friction plates in that baby... How did you end up mounting that T70, which ar did you go with, and what converter did you choose?

42# injectors i think small for t70 . if you can put big injectors i think it’s good for more rwhp ?

Yeah, 42's are way small... That's my primary concern, and for my build will be replaced. I want to stay well away from the surge on this t70 and keep it in it's efficiency map, I don't have to have the fastest freakin car in the world, just "faster" than most. =)

its backwards truck manifolds with the turbo mounted right infront of the water pump. It has a .96ar on the hot side and makes instant boost with my converter. Its just a junk converter that is getting streached out bad. Ill try to dig up some pics of my kit

That's awesome, I wanted to convert my t70 custom rear mount to a front mount, would be great to see some pics of your setup. Yeah, don't let that converter balloon too much, it'll come apart. Bet it's nice to have THAT much power to do that to parts. =) Your setup should do JUST fine man, can't wait to hear more back about it.
