8.8 rear end?

Nope, 8.5/8.625

ok, my mistake, thanks for the correction. do I need to upgrade the rest of the drivetrain then? I would like to be in the 700-900 range then...also, can you tow with a stall? I was looking at a 3200 or 3600 stall.

I tow an 18' car hauler with my 71 BB Camaro or my 99 Mustang GT from one corner of Texas to the other with a 9.5" Vigilante that stalls around 3000. I wouldn't go much higher on the stall and make sure you have a good cooler.

U should do some more reading on here. There are lots of builds on here with diy turbo kits or u can buy one from one of the sponsors

Ill probably do a dual t4 gt45 setup since I don't like the idea of exhaust gases flowing differently from a more restricted manifold to the other. Any input on this is welcomed. ill do a LSD in the rear with 4.10 gears and a 4l80e for drivetrain and I should be good. my estimate is to be in the 700-800hp range for daily driving on mild to mid boost range for the turbos...

The fastest trucks on this site use the {restricted} manifold, most that are running twins use oem manifolds. The big Hp builds over on Tech will use a 2 1/4'' crossover pipe connecting these manifolds. Dual gt45s WOW!! The bigger ebay gt45 will make 700 wheel by it self...it don't need a twin.

You also won't need 4.10's. The turbos need a load to build boost, steep gears blow through the powerband before it has enough load to build boost.

GM built a 3.0 V6 that has a turbo on only 1 of the manifolds, the other manifold was left open.
