Have you seen my current sale thread? I'm going to honor these prices though April.

As for what turbo, I ran a master Power T70 with .68 a/r on my 4.8 front mount and it worked very well. I made 505rwhp on my old 4.8 with a small cam and 11 psi of boost. It was a stock internal motor other then the cam and spring.
