Arrow Turbo Questions...

Hey all...I'm proud to say I've finally chosen to begin project Cookie Monster! (haha).

Pretty much, a boosted (turboed) 96' formy. 12 bolt, built t56, etc etc.

I mainly have questions about the kit I'm looking at...also, some recommendations on some engine modifications so I can get more ideas. Commentary definitely welcome. I'm shooting for the range between 500 - 700RW, which *apparently* this kit will do. I know already I'll probably be doing low compression turbo pistons, custom grind cam, and the like, but to dig down more into specifics...lets talk about this Also, I need to get in contact with delteq and see if that system will buckle with this project or not...it shouldn't, hell...it sparks a crap load better.

Letting everyone know, I'll proudly be representing LT1 power!

Thanks all, and I look forward to your informative posts!

The only concerin i'd have with the delteq over the stock one is your delteq is a waste spark system and turbos tend to like a richer mixture, it shouldnt cause any issues but if i were you i'd be looking at the ltcc instead.

Looking like it'll be a 355 build.

I've heard good things about doing the MoTeC M48 Pro Engine Management Computer with 8 coils and doing a boosted setup...anyone's take on this?
