Default Re: V8 Turbo Diary

Mongillo Motors who I have mentioned above sent the following information to me. Thoughts?

"T76 will be to big. You want to go with a T4 60mm or 67mm turbo. 60mm would probably use a .96 A/R housing and the 67mm would use a .83 A/R housing."

Ed at Mongillo thinks I should go for drivability instead of highest dyno numbers. One of my goals all along was to build a "German Corvette". A base Corvette puts out 430HP and the ZO6 puts out 505HP. I am a couple hundred pounds lighter than a Corvette but would like to smoke both of these models.
