holy shit man how big is turbo? so how does it run with it?[/quote] 81mm/1.39 just big enough to break something every time out... That is why I took a step back and now am toying with a turbo 4 and considering a VGT upgrade

Oh nice man, very clean looking. You're going to give the other Chevelle guy a hard on.

Very nice BS. I've never seen any pictures other than in your Avatar over on TTF.

 Re: Turbo Chevelles
Nice.
What kind of setup do you have? Motor/tranny? What does it make for power/track times?

 Re: Turbo Chevelles
454, Turbo 400 Trans Small Procharger ran low 10's/high 9's on pump gas (3800lbs) Fabbed up a turbo kit and put too much turbo on the car. Broke chit nearly every time I drove it. It should have gone deep into the 9's if it would have stayed together. I'm currently re-evaluating the combo. May switch to a larger P-charger or slightly less turbo. At one point 1000hp sounded cool but essentially useless driving around town. I just need 800 to have fun
