I know. Poor trans. I'm not entirely sure if it will hold regardless but then again, I'm more playing with the amount of boost required to hit that 9.... I guess it's hard for me to be precise in my comments since I'm in uncharted territory now. I don't really know a whole lot either. Since boost is a measure of restriction and a form of friction, it may only take 18 pounds to get the job done since airflow will be pretty high with these heads.

I'm not a precision fan myself.... I've seen too many compressor wheels snapped off the shaft... Know of anything good by Turbonetics?

I dunno. Garrett at Oddball literally just now called and wanted to put together a ridiculous kit, for which I just told him no and asked for a big A2A intercooler, and I'd fatten the meth out to keep it cool.

It's still up in the air for a turbo kit though and I still need to do as Atomic suggested and call Reed. I just got home from College so needless to say it has been a very busy day so far and I still have alot to do. :o

I suggest contacting Martin @ Tick or Lil Jon on yellow bullet or over on Tech. Those two guys seem to be putting together some awesome turbo cam packages.

And maybe contact trick or kb racing for turbo hot pipes.
