zach with that big-ass turbo of yours, have you considered to spool that with a sneaky-pete NOS system?

or just relying on a 2.4 stroker and high rpm?

yes, but direct port, and possibly a fogger too. Nitrous will be used.

I guess I missed the photo of those direct ports already set-up on your intake manifold. I just saw them now.

the nitrous will really help spool the big beast!!!

this will be nice

Whatever is needed, but im not building a nitrous motor, i'll only be using it to get me over the top of my horsepower goal or get the turbo to spool in the low rpm's.

and the old turbo is a precision 5558

Hey Zack he is a write up on the 2.5 you were asking for. They say the forged crank is for vibrations not strength

my guess is divorce, car repo'd or sold, kid sucked through a turbo so OP is in jail, pretty much what happens to everyone starting these big project threads and throwing every single dollar they have into it instead of upgrading their trailer home into a single family home.

The OP hasn't been on since literally the day he made his last post in this thread. If he actually would have succeeded with this build, he probably would have the record for highest HP LNF

His business That he recently just started took off faster than he had anticipated and I don't think he's had much time for him self or his projects.
