another rear mount setup qestions
another rear mount setup qestions I have always wanted to go to boost and i will never have 10k to spend on a kit. i have been thinking a lot about building my own rear mount kit to try and save some money. this is going to be for a track car with very little street time. project goal is bottom 9's maybe 8's so i wll need 850-900 RWHP
st80 .96 turbo
shortie headers with 2.5 exhuast piping to a T4 flange. header warp from the heaters to the flange.
2.5 intake pipeing up into the car into a air to water cooler
LS2 pistions only carb efi intake
custom cam. not sure on what the specs should be.
3.73 gears
4000 stall on a th350 2step and break
100 shot of nitrous.
questions. this is just going to be a waste of money? for the power and numbers i am looking for is a front mount the only way to go? i figured i would save 3-4 g's by doing a rear mount.
also what size intake piping should i run ?
what are my choices for an pvc system?
thanks

You can make enough power with a front or rear mount system. There's rear mount cars in the 7s if I recall. It depends on what YOU want to do. If the car is an auto then I don't see much disadvantage to a rear mount.
Just use manifolds. Unless you have a the th350 already, go to a th400. 3.73's will be too much gear unless you plan on 30+" tires. 4000 on the stall will probably be too loose unless it's built by someone like chance.
If you are building a track car why do a rear mount setup? The end cost usually ends up being about the same as a front mounted turbo setup.

i already have the th350 in the car now, and i will be running a 315 DR the car is already mini tub and has a 8.50 cert cage.
reason i wanted to do a read mount cuz i thought it would cost a few G's less then a front mount. i have been looking and just the hot parts on some kits are 3k and i would need to upgrade my radiator ect.
