pull the 370's and raise the pop pressure will make them run much better. as for a turbo a 62 or 63 compressor with the 68 turbine would be your best choice. spool of the 65 turbine with the flow of the 71.

This I will have to research. I dont want to spend more than $1500 on a turbo, as it will be socking away pennies for a while to get to that (getting married, starting on the house hunt, etc etc). Among other things that the truck will be getting, non performance.

I think in looking and thinking more, I think the 500hp mark is what I am wanting. I am looking at different turbos and seeing what is there and there are a lot of options out there. I have been looking at the s300/s400 series, but seeing the s400 series is going to be too big for a street truck, just to get the turbo to light will smoke out any intersection and take too long (just in what I am reading, no experience in this at all.) Still looking at the s300, seeing what is close to the 62/68 area.

I see the BW "Screaming Eagle" line has some right in the area, and have heard good things about BW stuff. http://www.dieselautopower.com/produ...2063-68-14.htm

Still looking, and reading and taking it all in!

Lots of options and sizing a turbo can be complicated, (trans, tire, altitude, gearing etc)

Feel free to give us a call.
