i would dream of 8's custom but with this 4,000# truck im not wanting to push it that hard..... My ultimate goal will be a 9.99 and ill leave the 8's to the Chevstang that im gonna build for my wife in the near future (She thinks its hers) lol

I think 8s might be out of the question but deffinatly 9s and I would guess much more solid then 9.99! Only time will confirm.

Well got the new turbo on and went to make a few pulls on the street after heat cycling the turbo to break it in and noticed when i got home that oil was sitting on the inlet of the turbo.... Not good! So i called the rebuilder and sent it back to get it fixed under warranty, i will say with the 1.32 ar exhaust housing the thing took some rpms to get it boosted up but when it come in around 5000 rpms its a animal for sure.. I sent it back and im trading the guy out my exhaust housing for a 1.0 ar to help with a little quicker spool and hopefully ill get a non leaking turbo back!! Also made a couple extra changes to my wastegate positioning so i wont get the dreaded boost creep ive been dealing with, should have it up and going again next week if my turbo gets done, i just have to finish running my 5" exhaust with my new magnaflow diesel muffler :]

hmm i just started getting into boost around 5000 but took no time at all to hit the mark soon after :] this exhaust hosing was a beast.... But that was in first gear so once i hit boost it stayed in boost

I bet the air flow of that 1.32 would make for some wicked power at the hi rpm but with such a slow spool it might hurt the low end more then its worth, unless you had a tbrake and 2step.
