the chicken and the egg. Which one came first.

Does the blower hurt the turbos on the top end.
or
Does the turbo hurt the blowers bottom end.
or
Does the blower moving more air spinning the turbo faster help the turbo.
or
Does the turbo spinning faster help the blowers inlet work better.


The real question is
"is Kyles engine READY to handle what is about to happen to it"...

I've still got the stock 4.8 sitting on the floor that just needs some head gaskets and studs if I need it,

What about the rest of the drive terrain? Do you have extras of them?

I think that the pressure on the compressor outlet of the turbo being less than it would see normally will also speed up the spool. I predict this truck will be a torque monster. Please place raffle ticket for the contest into the "torque monster" bin.

I got the 80e swap done, so if I have tranny problems, its not that big of deal, Also just bought a TruTrac, so no more peg leg, I don't think I have to many week links in the truck, Should take the abuse a well as can be expected for my goals of a 700 hp daily driver .

Time for an UPDATE!!!!

Well, It's together and RUNNING! still have a bunch of tuning to do, don't have the intercooler pump hooked up or coolant in it yet, but had to take it for a drive today. Needs a LOT of tuning, as it's way lean, which is a good thing right? Just made a couple quick runs and added fuel to make it safe for now, but this thing build boost FAST! Don't take long at all to get to 10 psi with just a 3.3" pulley and a 7psi spring in the gate.

The TB adapter didn't end up working, so I had to break down and by a Edelbrock 90mm TB. That in it's self was a pain, as I had to redo my throttle cable bracket and cold pipe as well as get another silicone adapter cuz it has a 4 1/2 inlet. I really think I'm gonna need to put a lot bigger turbo on it to really see the benefit of it though. I think I'm gonna have a little boost creep with this little turbo and 38mm WG. I have a 50mm WG, I can put on it shortly, but I'm thinking I'm gonna need a PT88 if I can find one cheap, since I have no idea when MP's 88 is gonna be done. Soon as I get the TVS intercooler finished up and the tune a lot better, I'll see if I can get a vid made.

That looks really good kyle. True one of a kind in a truck that looks stock from the outside.

but needs video!
