is this turbo good for my goals?
Hey guys im looking for a turbo setup on my truck, I was looking at the stage 4 trick performance kit, its a T76 ball bearing setup i think..
anyways, most of the time I do 1/8th of mile sand races in 4LO so, revs go up DUMB FAST... thats why i was thinking of this turbo as it states that builds boost QUICKER than stage 2 & 3 kits..
I will be changing cam too cause I think my current one would not be the best choice (TR220-112)..
Will my walbro 255 and 8.1L (42lbs i think) injectors be enough??
Thank you guys!!

I don't think that 255 will go to high 500's in a returnless system and the 60's will be ok to that level. 42's not even close.. and high 500's to low 600's is a ton of power! Unless you plan on 15-20 psi I think you will fall in the low 500's with a cam/Pp heads 76mm turbo. Not hindering your goals I just think you are overestimating that combo.

As far as the cam goes... it will be fine and several guys run it with turbo. Are there "better" choices ..sure but I would run it first and just see how it does since you already have it.

Thanks guys, and I will deal with the gas setup after I choose a turbo kit.. the thing is, Ive seen a couple of stock or near stock 4.8 guys up in the 500's and I was aiming to get somewhere close to those numbers, and I tought that since I already have some mods in my engine as you can see in my signature AND a bit of a bigger engine, those numbers would be more achievable for me.. I would like to go to the 15-20psi range.. actually I would LOVE to get there.. thats why Im looking for the setup that will get me to those numbers..!
Thank you guys!
Stock, is there a problem running in 4wd LO with a turbo buddy? Im just trying to figure it out...
