Quit hatin'Originally posted by 96mikez28honestly TT's are deadweight, a single turbo will do everything ya want it too!
, I like twins for the street, instant spool and will make the power a lot quicker rather than up top, a big single for a track car.
A huge thought like Jeff mentioned, hows your motor built? Compression ratio, if its above a 9.0:1, your pretty much stuck choosing spray unless you want to rebuild the motor for a lower CR. FI likes low CR's, nitrous likes higher which more than likely your motor is.
Also price difference is a big factor for the initial up front price on all three kits, and more than likely if you want a twin kit your going to have to get it custom made.sigpic

Hello every one again. ia m starting to love this site.lol
Well i say you have many ways you can go with this
eportworks.com can rebuild your deads and Port and polish them. Also send you a came to go with it.
power from you can make
390rwhp le1 1100
420rwhp le2 1700
430rwhp le3 2050
this is with a stock bottom end.
you can stroke the motor. 397ci( raded at 750+hp) $1500 plus block work
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SMALL...1653QQtcZphoto
or go turbo $1500+ build it your self. 3500+ buy a kit.
. but even with spray its not cheap. Cost you will pay at the end. Also refilling the bottle every time you run out of fun gas is going to add up. ( I think $200 to fill a 10lbs bottle)
So their my $1

$200, think that may be a little off but it still isnt cheap to run nitrous, usually initial price isnt too bad but it gets you when you get addicted and can stop spraying.
Elliott, seems your enjoying yourself here, w00t for post whores! glad you like this site and more regulars are a good thing!sigpic

Yea so far grreat site. Also i check out your twin set up. looking good but i am sure tons of work, pluming, and etc.Originally posted by Superman09$200, think that may be a little off but it still isnt cheap to run nitrous, usually initial price isnt too bad but it gets you when you get addicted and can stop spraying.

back to the post
A singel turbo would easyer , lest time and money.
Also upgrading a frount mount singel would be as easy as bolt up a biger turbo with the same flange but i guess its all about what u want to do. but in the end you Will pay for spray.
People say a singel takes longer to spool. but you can spool a 70mm turbo at 3000rpm .
The best thing i would say do is pull the motor. Install some forged dish pistons and h-beam rods. The crank is good for 550rwhp.
But the pistons Will blow the top piston landings.
Also the bolts on the stock rods are a lil weak. So just going h-beam rods for $285 and some -22 dish speed pro pistons for around $285 . The coper gasket and you good to ggo. also we all ready no that your vaulve train will need a upgrade1993 Camaro

Looks like you probably have put some pretty good money in the engine so far, so I wouldn’t get cheap now, run the Turbo or the Super Charger.
Especially if you spend more time on the street than the strip.
Just my 2 cents.Currently Owned F-Bodies

yea turb o is the only way to go for the 2007+ unless you are rock crowling a 4x4 truck.lol
Its cheaper then a s/c and the cost will be up frount unlike the bottle that you have to refill.
Also to add bost cost less with a turbo. like 6psi to 15psi
witha s/c you go 6psi to 9psi.
Also i say go frount mount Singel turbo and not twin. Less cost, less work, less parts,and takes up less space.
Also a singel makes better top end and upgrading the turbo will cost less than upgrading two.
most people say tiwn cuz they spool faster. but when you are on the starting line or at a light you stage your car. You rev it up to 2k-4krpm. well a singel can spool at 2500-3500.1993 Camaro

twins will have full boost by then
lol, anyway you will probably save a lot going to a single turbo, however twin 67s is huge, thats what a lot of guys run on 408's and see 4 digit numbers. For ease, the procharger is best way to go, much easier install and still puts down really good numbers. As said above its all about your application, for drag racing a bigger single will be the better choice, for a street car, twins would be the better choice. a big single puts down the power up top and usually a track car will have the right gears/stall, etc to get into that powerband quick, however that may not be very fun to drive around the street with the large gears and high stall. So its all about what you want out of the car.

Hey i am not surew whatu mean buy a large gear. if you mean 3.08 or 4:10 . Sorry its still some terms i need to work on.
But For the most part people run 3.27-3.55 gears on a turbo set up. By being such a low great. the motor does not spin( or as much) as easy like a 3.73 or 4.10. So the motor works harder which makes it produce more exh. more exh. flowing out means more exh. spooling the turbo.
also one brand new t-67 will run about $900-$1100 easy retail . and they will make like 1200-1400rwhp. Also tring to fit two of them under the hood price less.
one pt-88 will you about $1500 retail and will flow and easy 1200-1400rwhp.
But me my seld i would say forget both of these turbo and run a s400 style turbo. They cost about $600 for a 70mm and will flow 750-800rwhp and will spool fast
.
then when the fun ends with a 70mm turbo they have wheel upgrades. like 74mm, 75mm( 1000rwhp) ,80mm (1100rwhp), 91mm( A whole lot of rwhp), and the big dady 101mm (OMFG
)
The cost of a upgrade is around $850 avg.
Also not cheap turbo' people have gotten over 6,000 miles on these turbo's easy. and they or just better

well what im saying is that most people match the turbo set up to their application, thats all. Its a fact that twins will spool faster and a large single will have more power up top.. thats all. Yes 2 turbos will cost more and harder to fit, thats what gives twins the wow factor. As for gearing, a lot of guys do run the taller gears with turbos (lower numerically) to spool the turbo like your saying, but more most track cars with a big single, a lot still use a lower gear and a high stall to get into the pwoer quicker for better track results and such which isnt as street friendly. Like i said before, each set up does something different, pic kthe set up that does what you want your car to be. In my case, the car is a street car and i like to do shows so i did the twins.sigpic
