Just curious on opinions and facts as well as any info on this stuff. I have a guy wanting to trade me for a nitrous setup. He says it will put out 7lbs of boost preset.(can be more) He has had all mandrel bent pipeing done its all powdercoated nice(not a hack job). Carb and everything included I know there is turbo lag etc... but will the power be there? Also, I want to run headers but this is a manifold setup can I get headers??? Any info appreciated thanks guys I'm new but have been reading here for a bit I know there are guys who know there **** here LOL! This is my setup as of now.

-355 sbc(no miles all idling and some strip use about 10 1/8 mile passes)
-stock bottom end with all new rod bolts etc.
-.150 dome pistons
-lunati power adder cam(NOS, supercharger) .465 intake .489 exhaust. 114 degrees lobe sep angle. 110 degree centerline, duration @.50 is 220 intake and 230 exhaust
-procomp aluminum heads 64 cc combustion chambers, 2.02 1.60 valves, 190cc intake runners heads flow 261 cfm at .500 lift intake and 186 cfm at .500 lift heads flow betteer then people think for cheaper heads (gaskets will decide compression)
-rockers are 1.65
-600cfm edelbrock carb(modded)
torker 2 intake

I have a powershot setup with a MSD digital window switch and a jacobs timer and WOT switch wanting to trade for some type of forced induction setup and willing to add cash or sell my Nitrous setup.

 

noone huh???????????????????????????

 

Your static CR is probably on the high side for boost and pump gas, and with it just being a "draw through" turbo setup there's really too many variables at hand to really give any good info. You really need to know more about the turbocharger it comes with, and the carb that's on it. Afterall, they used draw throughs on Buick 3.8Ls but I bet the turbo would be a hair on the small side for what you want.....

 

From what I understand the turbo is a good size one and also my static compression ratio will be determined by using thicker copper gaskets to get the ratio I want. I can go from 8:1 to 11:1 using different gasket thickness.

 

sounds good to me.... I wouldn't even care about headers though. That turbo would more that likely be enough to get you movin...
