So sitting here wondering what I might run at the track now that all of this is installed and running good. Any guesses? Is there anything else I might need?

I will tell you this. Anytime my car sits for more than two weeks in the garage, I always have a problem with something. These engines just know how to push all the buttons.

You could run 9's, but it all has to work together along with suspension/launch/tune. What kind of bottom end?
 
My mustang has the same issue, the longer she sits the more issues. As for the GN bottom it's all stock, only 70k miles on her. Im pretty sure I playing with fire with this. But done right and if I don't go bat shit crazy, I think she should be ok for awhile. I hope
 
Stock heads and cam? If so, get a 275/60 tire and you might have boost issues with that turbo. That is a lot of turbo for a stock engine, it is going to be hard to lower the boost.
 
Not to sound negative but I don't think you'll be able to make it past the 1000' without hurting something based on the parts listed. The turbo will run away on you, the converter won't work well, 93/alky tuning window is very narrow, assuming non closed loop wide open throttle fueling, valves will float, etc

Bison- what makes you say that the converter won't work well, when we built the combo I was told this the correct combo to go with. I'm aware the turbo is a bit overkill. I know I'm pushing the limits of the stock rotating assembly but isn't that what we do? As its winter time here I guess we will all have to play coulda shoulda woulda till spring. Thanks for the input, it's well received. That's why we have this forum. :angelic:
 
I've posted many times about this before. If you have a 15 or 16 blade stator 9.5" race converter you will be gtg. You won't be able to couple anywhere near the potential of that turbo even if you can gain control of the exhaust pressure with the internal gate. Stock engine needs to be well under 5000rpm through most of a pass to move the car. Usually flash stall in the low 4000's. I don't see that happening with a 10" LU. The converter will aggravate the engine efficiency by flashing too high. Even with boost in the low 20's it will likely be high 4000's. You won't even be able to be pushing the limits of the stock rotating assembly with stock heads. Not even close. I'm speaking from experience and actual data I've obtained over the years.

I don't see anything regarding the internals being upgraded, so can I safely assume an unopened engine? That is a lot of turbo for an unopened motor.
And the scary thing is that without ported heads, you will need to crank up the boost, which will flex the crank. If you take it to the track, I would trailer it and be prepared for the worst.
 
I would sell the 6466 and get something more fitting to your car. Maybe you can ask the likes of Hartline, Bison, or even Full Throttle for a suited turbo for your set up. Getting the properly fitted turbo, you will see a more responsive vehicle and will be more fun on the street. Nothing like stabbing the throttle and be in instant boost... I call it "Insta-boost"
 
I have a litle big turbo Whit factory portee head and 1.77 intake valve Whit lockup converter so is big Turbo for my combo súper 60 turbonetic 70 ar
