60 Series Turbo's & my plan

[Raven]

Ok, I've narrowed it down to a 60 Series turbo that I'm going to go with - the problem is now which one? I like the numbers I've seen on the 60, but - I talked to PTE today and they told me about a (I think this is the right number) a CT-61 (does that sound right?) that sounds pretty trick. Then, I talked with Limit (John Craig's shop) and the guy I talked with said with stock heads I should not go higher than a -62. But - I've seen some combo's on here with -63's and stock heads and I like the idea of a Big Shaft Turbo. Hmmm... so, which should it be?

I want to be comfortable running mid 11's with the stock heads but still have enough 'oomph' left in the turbo to be able to handle either a port/polish of my stockers OR a new set of Champions or similar next spring. I also want to get those mid 11's with proper tuning using ~20 psi of boost.

My first inclination is to go with the -63 and be done with it, along with the new 57# injectors, cold air (such as the Big Mouth), a 3000 stall, a stretch stock location intercooler, 3" dp, and a VERY low restriction exhaust, perhaps a straight shot or even no muffler at all - just 3" pipe all the way out the back. I've already got the basics covered (adj f/p regulator, hotwired Walbro 340m, Scanmaster II, etc). I will also be running a 28" tall tire, most likely a solid DR for the street and slicks at the track.

Is this a good plan? Other suggestions?

3000 Stall?

Ball bearing CPT66 (cottons) or else a TA-TE61.

I have the TA62 with the 3200 Protorque and it's okay but not like a stocker.

Get the 3200 stall and a 63 might work. 3400-3500 is more normal I think.

Stock heads suck with a big turbo for sure.

You won't see mid 11's at 20 psi. without aluminum heads in MHO.

Just stuff gathered from reading not racing.

My goals are still high 11's on pump gas with alky. and DR's.

Never gonna see them but I can dream. My car is a piggy.

Start by ripping out some stuff on the car as you will need to lighten it up.

You have to hit the 11's berfore you can hit the mid 11's.

I think 25-26psi. will do it with stock heads and a race chip assuming normal weight GN.

Craig guy was on the money for the 3000 stall.

I think your plan is to buy my turbo. I still have my CPT-65 for sale. Drop me a line for details.

my father is also thinking of getting a turbo in the future, but hasn't maxed his current setup. i told him to max it out first then think about spending more $$ or get his heads done.

his combo:
turbonetics stage 4 (comparable to a 60-1)
50#inj.
rjc power plate
3200 stall
stock heads
?mystery cam?
terry houston "jersey style" 3"dp (dump open 24/7)
kb exhaust sys.
j.testa street chip-@19-20 psi on pump gas

if and when my father decides,what turbo would compliment his converter w/o being too much for the stock heads?

i think PTE was talking to you about the PT61 which has the new GT series 61mm wheel that is very very efficient and is pretty much a replacement for the older 60-1 wheel buts its lighter and more efficient so spool is faster and makes more power

If it was ball bearing I would have bought it already.

I wish it was... it would have been sold a long time ago.
