So i have been lurking on this site for a long while, just soaking up as much info as i can. I have a long term project that i have been messing with for a while and now is time to accumulate more parts. What size turbos should I run for a 6.0? I live in Salt Lake City, so the altitude is roughly 4500 feet. Very long term plans would be to stroke the 6.0 to 408 (with L92s) once i pop it. Would dual mp76 with .96 a/r be too big? And i am doing a flipped manifold setup with a huge air to air and meth, for any one wondering. I am hoping some of you gurus will chime in here (Hello KBracing!?)

 

 

76s are kinda big for a stock 6 litre

 

That is kind of what i was thinking. But i would like room to grow to the stroker when that time comes without having to buy two new turbos again.

 

Midnightrider had around 65mm's, don't remember what they were exactly, but something around mid 60s when he had his TT 6.0

 

If you guys want more details on this project, then here goes:
1950 Chevy 3100
S10 frame swap using an 86 rclb
'Glass tilt front end
8.8 explorer rear
6.0L with 4L80E
etc etc etc
Shooting for 3500 pounds or less with my fat *** in the seat, 600+ rwhp, and hopefully in the tens or better with a good hook.

 

oh, and dont hold your breath for a finished product any time soon. This project is a long term gig, when funds allow. Just to the point that i need to buy more parts, and want to know what to get.

 

Is the '50 3100 the truck we see the HHR kinda modeled after? Pic or 2, please. Nice project.
To answer your Q, twins the size of my avatar. 36 or 38D's.

This is NOT my truck. But this is the body style. Mine is a little. . . .rougher.
