What stall torque converter are you going to be using?

If stock, stick to the TE44 and a good chip.

 

[gnkid1987]

it is stock

what chip do you reccomend

and what do you think the times will be in the 1/4 mile with a safe boost level

Crank up the boost! try 24psi with good gas, no cat conv. Get any chip you feel lucky with. Any good chip maker will help you. Buy a street chip first, then if you have another $75-$110, buy a race chip with more timing. I like the knock box feature from Red Armstrong. Ignors knock during launch. Everybody has a different opinion about the best chip, but if you don't tune right, any chip can suck. Have fun!

Buy once and go with the 55's.

You will be glad later down the road.

55's need a modded ECM. 50's, 57's, and 60's dont.

Whats wrong with the stock turbo? Plenty of low 12 second cars running stockers.

Some even in the 11's.

Is that the first time you removed your uppipe and found oil? Check it periodically, but it may be a one time occurrance. Unless the car is smoking, the turbo could be fine.

36# injectors are enough for mid-high 11's.

the car has been smoking peridocily i thought it was the valve seals but it wasent
