I've seen a dyno graph of a guy who got 550 and felt that he could probably tune it out to 6, but he wasn't planning on upgrading his block so he didn't want to run it on the edge. That's part of what got me interested in the whole turbo v8 thing to start with. At this point I'm just going to wait till after college to do it with a used '03.

But that's beside the point. The guy with the 550 dyno was running efi, since you're carbed you should see at LEAST 650 right off the bat, right?

But I am not looking even close to that. I want to enjoy it for a while before I attempt to blow it apart. Nothing would suck more than to spend all this time and $$ getting it together just to blow it up and have to park it for a few months.
Hey man looking good, me and a buddy just got done installing one on his 88' LX. I see you went w/ the same fuel sys we did. good luck w/ the rest of the install... what size turbo? we went w/ a t76, and man does it haul some ass!!!
