Which turbo should I buy???

[allgojoe]

Got my new stroker motor from weber wondering which turbo I should buy? Got ported allum. champions heads, 224/224 cam, girdle, 3500 convertor with brake. I was told a 76Q trim since I dont race in any class what do you think?

a better question would be how fast do you want to go and do you want it to be somewhat streetable? 76Q sounds like it's in the ball park

Id like to go as fast as possible and still be streetable, Is there such a thing.lol

i have found that there is a fine line to do that, i only have a 10 sec car and it's very streetable but you still feel the affects of it being a race car.....a 76 would get you an easy 9sec pass.....i have seen guys running 88's on the street but i would't do it

76GTS is what i am going with,my combo isn't very different from yours except for an expensive block.

I know of one car here with pretty much the same combo that went 6.60's in the 1/8 on 20# with lots still left in it,the turbo is good past 30#.Thats low 10s if you do the math.

Another friend of mine has run some low 7's in the 1/8 on 18# with a 76 gtq.

the GTS is worth about 100hp or so over the GTQ,I know it is rated at 1150 hp,thats only 50hp less than the old PT88.

How many cubes is the stroker motor? 3.8 block?

Call Jack Cotton and have a talk to him about your mods, future mods and goals with the car. Great guy to do business with, just got my CPTE60 from him and he's been a help before , during and after the purchase!! Top notch, trust in that!
