Default Done with nitrous

For those that don't already know I have decided the ditch the nitrous and I am now going turbo. I just wanted to say thanks to some of the guys in here for the help over the past year and a half and for the ones still trying to meet your nitrous goals good luck!

Iron block 346. Basically transferring my internals and heads to a bored over 5.3 block. That way we can really make killer power and not sweat block failure. I already have a s476r turbo, bov, and an intercooler. Just ordered a 10 pt chromoly cage yesterday. Our goal is to get down to 5.1x or 5.2x in the 1/8th.

A 5.1 in the 1/8 mile is rolling for sure. That would put you at an 8.0 in 1/4!! That's smoking ;-)

Good luck Thadd, I really like n2o too but I am almost finished gathering all my parts to put my first turbo build together. Im using an aluminum Gen 4 5.3 block, ported LS1 heads, TBSS intake, Lil John cam and a S475 T6 96mm turbine, with a glide and a set of 3.50's in the 9" to get started. Im only shooting for 5.60's but well see soon. I will have a n20 kit on it too if needed!

That sounds like a pretty good set up to me. It should make some power. I wanted to stick with the aluminum block but scared it won't hold up in the power range we are trying to be in

Yeah your going to be putting out stupid high power. Did you get those manifolds? When are you trying to finish the turbo build?

I did, thanks man. Money is the only thing slowing me down. We are changing a lot....... 10 pt cage, fuel system, swapping to an iron block, all the pipping. I'm guessing it will be middle of the summer before I am up and running
