high rpm turbo???
Certainly, but I suggest that you study turbos a bit more. They come in several flavors:
1) Spin up early, but peak out early (too much boost on top)
2) Spin up later, but peak out later (what you are seeking)
3) Twin systems, which have both
4) Type 1, but using a wastegate to limit top end boost.
Type 4 seems to be a good compromise between power and cost.
Best of luck.

Go spend $24 and buy Corky Bells Maximum Boost. It breaks it down to understandable terms and was and still is the heat when it comes to turbo & F/I info.

blah i really think i want nitrous cause i dont have to read a book about it lol

and the motor is around a 10:1 compression so its not worth trying to boost

Verdad Gallardo If you want to turn the boost down, I suggest a boost controller. It will allow you to have at least two settings, call them low and high. Run high when you want to scare the britches off yourself, and low every where else.
And I would not go near E85 with my DD, much less my fbody.

7 psi non-intercooled, but it would be better intercooled.
It is safe, but IATs were too high (60 degrees above ambient).
gains were about 65% above naturally aspirated.
Depends on what you want.

Or run wastegate boost around town, and pull off the vaccum line(roughly doubles the boost) when you want to go faster.
