Default Upgrading my turbo's!

I had one of T60-1's go bad last friday night at the track, so i ordered 2 new Turbonetics HP76mm BB Turbo's with 4in. down pipes. 2 years of abuse on the old turbo's, I can't complain!

Well its always nice to upgrade. Do you plan on pushing the new units a lot harder than you did the 60's?

Large compressor cover.HP-76 with the S trim exhaust wheel. .96AR.
It's basicly the same as the new GTK-1000's, just without the surge cover.

Well unfortunatly ,the pushing water issue is still here with this motor.
I really don't plan on making much more power with this motor, but it should be a little more efficient with cooler intake temps. The new motor I plan on trying to acheive the max the turbo's will provide. 15-1600rwhp. The motor will obviously be a LS 6 bolt head of some sort.

I can make a 1000rwhp and it won't push water but a tiny bit. It gets bad if I beat on it real hard and I don't let the car cool down inbetween passes very much. My timing was a little high as well. I going to back it down to 15deg. and leave it there. At 18deg. it would push water.
