I think twin 60-1's would be cheaper than one monster 1,000 dollar plus turbo.....

Haha and you're safe being the fastest STS truck....I'm pretty set on a front mount setup.

LOL I'm trying to see the humor in it. $9000 bought me an extra second and a quarter and a lesson in DCR calculation
As long as some boost wakes it up I'll be a happy camper.

The PT-76GTS is a proven performer on tech and with your added cubes would spool quickly and still net you the rwhp you are looking for. Do alot of searching and reading, go to forcedinductions.com they have a whole turbo section about what the different sizes and numbers mean/do, and an air consumption chart for an LS1 408 to match up with compressor maps, you will also see the pt-76gts will match your needs well, FYI it will run you 1400 for the pt-76gts add coated exhaust housing for 50 and turbo blanket for 150 and you have an even faster spooling turbo but still tons more top end then a normal 76 or anything smaller. They told me that the 76 would spool damn near instantly on my rear mount so I would htink it would spool instantly on a front mount. Brake boost shoudl be around 8-9psi from the reading I have done and PM'ing a few on tech that run it in an auto and 370s.
That is great news! You just made me a happy guy
I'm planning on calling Jose tomorrow, and I'll check out the site.
