Oh, like the quote, unquote under your sign. Sweet!
Ive got a B&G stage 1 kit with a MPT70mm turbo. I just need a few small things like injectors, MAF, and a fuel pump for it and then small things like aboost gauge, MSD box etc. Im gonna keep the boost conservative to keep from doing any damage to it. Id like to see around 500rwhp out of it.
Ive always loved that quote from Back to the Future.

Yeah its still the stock block or at least I think it is............. The car has a little bit of a lope to it and I found a E303 cam card in the glove box, so Im pretty sure its got that cam in it. I dont know if the motor was rebuilt on it or not. The previous 2 owners didnt do anything to it that I know of.
The cars in great shape and its a driver not a show car, but Im still not gonna try to tear it up. Just want a good fun street car.
Id like to see 500hp from it but Im not gonna push my luck with it. If it makes that then I dont plan on pushing it any further. Im not gonna go over 10lbs of boost on it even though the turbo and the kit I got will support 650-750hp.

It is going to be a mean machine, the bad thing is you will want more once you get it done.

If the stock block is still in the car. It's not going to handle 500 rear wheel hourspower. Maybe you can get close 500hp at the fly. It will be a ticking time bomb.
Now, that is a sweat looking turbo. If money isn't a issue. Maybe you would could find a used A4, Boss, Dart, R short block. Then you could build 500+++ hourspower motor and get a good dyno tune to make it very streetable.
I have plans on building a 331 stroker motor to make about 400hp. The orginal cobra motor will be pulled out from intake to oil pan with the headers still attached and put on a stand.
Im gonna keep it conservative and safe with the tune and try to keep it alive. I dont want to tear this thing up but I do want a little more out of it than what its got................... I wish money wasnt an issue and I would do all those things!

When you getr done. You may need to change you qoute from 88mph to a lower number. That turbo is s going to put out some serious shit a lot sooner after it winds up.
Looking forward to seeing the completion of the install.
