i will be going up to about 24 psi, the motor should handle it after the build. i'm hoping for 380+

yah but you can't get that one with a t-3 turbine housing. and the only manufactured manifold at this point has a t-3 flange.

which brings me to a good question, any ideas what the shaft speed will be on a turbo with a .63 ar turbine side once i hit 8250 rpms with mildly improved cfm's coming off the head?

I used to say the same thing when I was in denial. I was the guy who would not admitt that a turbo car will make more power then a blown car all day anyday.

Then theres those who will say things line, well you cant beat the instant boost and the flat TQ curve that a supercharger gives you. my reply to that is a fat girl will tell you that its whats on the inside that counts. we all know thats bullshit. thats just waht ugly girls say.
