Turbo Questions Ok Im In The Middle Of Starting My Turbo Project. T76 Fmic, Is It Really Nessesary That I Do A Head Swap? Or Will The Stock 241's Do The Job? I Know Lq9s Are The Cheapest Route To Get More Power. But I Already Have Comp Cam 918 Springs. Chrome Moly Pushrods. Titanium Retainers In My 241's So I Need Some Input! Plllllllllleassse!

yea im worried about fuel to. but i think i got it figured out. 60lb injectors. 255 pump. and a kenne bell boost a pump. im pretty sure that should be good for 600-700 wheel. if not.. then 2, 255 pumps. my buddy tony has 2 pumps. an those injectors. and a front mount 76. he did 575+ wheel an no fuel issues what so ever.
