Thinking Seriously About Turbo'n My Z......

Is there any reputable people on this board or the net that could build me some large turbo manifolds? Or is there a twin/single turbo kit for sale somewhere? I'm already deep in the 11's on pump gas and a 100 shot but I need more.......I'm sure you all know what I mean =) Anyways lemme know - thanks!

BBSDesigns makes twin turbo race manifolds for our cars. He visits this board as well, so he may chime in. His products have good reviews from his customers.

If you want it to be fast in the 1/4, keep the nitrous and only get one big turbo instead of two.

Why not two? The worlds fastest radial car a camaro just went 7.8@180 with two turbos way to go Rich head. A single would be a little easier to build but not as street friendly as two.
what kind of a car is it going to be just strip or a combination of strip/street?

Because you can make more power out of one big turbo than you can out of two smaller turbos, plus it's more efficient. All the fast Supra guys you see running 9's and below run single turbo set-ups. As well as the RX-7s (there is one that runs in the 7's) as well as any other sub 9 second turbo car out there.

Mike Moran 'will run 5s' with two turbos (So he told HRM). Hes already ran low 6s at 239mph. The point is you can make it fast either way, but I agree that a single turbo can produce far more power than what any of us will ever need.
