in need of a few opinions
 
been quite a wile since ive been on here.... been busy, im right in the middle of a 79 ford resto mod with a 94 12v going in it. ill give a brief description of whats done to the engine then ask my question. block studded top and bottom normal rebuild o ringed and ported head, 5k gov springs, full rack plug, laser cut dv, currently no fuel plate, 190hp ddp sticks,big stick cam,fluid damper, and for my question i got the fuel just need some opinions on what a good turbo set up would be. hoping for around 650 hp. when its all said and done

maybe look in to twin turbos. but for a sindle turbo i would contact cummins performnce parts or diesel auto power. but i would think you would need at least a 64/71/14 or bigger

For that much fuel I would think he would need at least a 62 coupled with an S475 in a compound setup. You could do a big single, but a set of twins will yield quicker spool up and/or lower drive pressures.

i was leaning more tward twins but money is saying big single for now. my biggest issue with twins is fitment in the 79 ford..... thanks for the help guys really appreciate it i good with how to work the fuel over just not so good on the turbo selection size

650 on fuel?

also IMO lose the full cuts

650 on fuel isnt too much to ask, have friend w 24v making close to 600 hp on fuel

650 on fuel is a good number for a single turboed 12v its gonna take some tuning can't just throw a ton of fuel at it

well i bought the engine with most of the fuel stuff done to it. kid was running stock turbo on it. just needed some good input on turbo sizing. i do appreciate any other input on the fuel side of things p-pumps are still growing on me.
