Optimum turbo for a 6 speed LT1 355(with 10's in mind) Ok..ive been thinking..I dont care how much power I make..I just want to run 10's. I really dont want to run over 12-14psi. I know Jose..had a customer on a stock engine run 11.03. on 10psi from a....t66 maybe? or Maybe it was a t-70..but it was on 10psi. Well..ill have a decently built engine(forged rods,pistons) with LE2 heads/turbo cam and big front mount. This will be on a ptk lt1 kit. Ok..enough about this..what should I go with...could I get away with a t-67?...or..??
This is going to be a street car and is going to see alot of abuse..which is why I want it to be safe.

Yeah..I guess your right..this motor is being built basically as a learning "block" for turbo v8's im going to toy around next year..and while im having fun..have my real motor built. I dont wanna spend 6k into a short block..and put the car into a wall..and waste even more money. Once im used to this setup..ill step up to more hp. Which is why ill be limited to 14psi max. If I run a 10.99 Ill have met my goal.
