I have a question, I actually had a thought to sell the 4.3l with the blower I have on it with everything else (the unit is all polished as well) and im looking at around $3000 for it, with that, I can buy two or one turbo units and build a turbo or twin turbo setup, where can I go from there? btw reading the article in the pontiac magazine, the moderater's f-body is sick, and well I wanna be quicker HAH... well quicker than him
EDIT: anyways, what turbos should I look at? I just need the actual turbo unit and I can do a custom plumbing job on it, should I go with two or one?

If the car is going to be bracket raced, you need to consider what bracket you want to run. A good NA 408 build will make a good bracket racer. It's harder to make a consistent FI bracket racer because of heat build up. Build for good NA power and put a 2 stage nitrous kit on it. Even NA, you'll beat most of what is on the street assuming you can launch the truck. You can run a 100 shot dry on top of that once you get going on the street and run both stages at the track when you want to go for single digits.

I really wanna go the FI route, even if it isnt consistent, something to bring to the track to run single digit number and outlaw street comps is great, truthfully, I wanna try to get as close to the single digit's if not in them and run minimal nitrous, what kind of turbo(s) should I look at single or twin? which would be the better route to go? or do you think ati procharger might even be a better route?

N/A is the best place to start, always. Start with at least a 408, badass heads (AFR 225's?), FAST 90/90 NW TB, 1 7/8 stepped headers, etc. obviously with a hell of a lot of supporting suspension mods if you want to make it into the single digits.

you also have to remember, this is a show truck, and well, tell you what, with that new motor, with a turbo, two turbos or a shiny big ati procharger sitting under the hood, it looks mighty fine, and to tell the truth, I love the sounds of forced induction, I am an FI fan, and really dont wanna go the n/a route, im already building my dad's firehawk N/A, so thats the other project, I already have the n/a now its time for the FI, so what turbo's or is an ati charger the way to go?

i think it would be cleaner and easier to do a single turbo kit. but i've heard that it is better to do twins for a mostly street car becuase they don't have to work as hard to acheive a certain boost level. so they last longer. if you're set on doing FI i would definately go the turbo route. if not, then i'd do a healthy n/a set up w/ nitrous for the track. just my opinion. as far as where to get your cam and what cam to go with, i highly suggest you call SPEEDINC. they are one of our sponsors and definately have been around the block w/ superchargers and turbo's. they do relatively small cams with decent boost and great tuning and come out with a package that is very quiet and very driveable, and get insange power numbers. their customer service is great too.
