Can the stock shortblock handle, boost wise?
If your getting that 30K mile GN that was garage kept, i think you should leave it alone for the most part. Chip, hot wire kit, injectors, K&N, boost controller and leave it at basically that and some tires will get you going 12's all day.
SO basically, with an air-water cooler, some tuning practice, and race gas...I can see low 11's possibly?
OKay, so I will get a front mount, an alcohol kit, a fuel pump, and injectors....No need to upgrade the turbo for the low 11's?
For low 11's I would personally go with the GT6152 turbo from Precision and if you don't already have one get yourself a 3" DP
Back in 96 before I cracked into my 30k mile motor I was running 11.20's with 72 lb injectors, upgraded fuel pump, old school DFI, fmic, te 60 turbo, 118 octane and 30 + boost and it lived.
Tune+Race Gas+ Boost= Big Power:biggrin:
Agreed. This guy sounds like he has some $ to spend and should consider a BB turbo. If hes not afraid of throwing stall at it id go big and build a forged girdled engine for the future.For low 11's I would personally go with the GT6152 turbo from Precision and if you don't already have one get yourself a 3" DP
At what point did it break? I broke one when i was going 124mph repeatedly back in 99 or 00. I detonated it a little a couple times and the block cracked as well as one main cap. I was probably running on 3 mains for a while . Im more and more afraid of the stocker in my sig. Its like a grenade with the pin pulled. Hasnt seen any detonation at all though so it SHOULD live.
