Anyone using a c4 behind a 2.3 turbo?if so how do you like it? Pros and cons? Stahl? Transbrake? Etc. This will be 2700 lb vehicle. 300 to 350hp deal. Streetcruiser

I am looking at that option. Have an auto merk that I want to put into the rx7 I have. Auto would be nice to drive and still have the svo to play in.
Other than that I have nothing to add to it.
Only thing I can think of is vac with a bigger cam will be less. I have 18 lbs and with a higher rpm cam I had 12 lbs.

The more I examine this swap.I may keep it 5 speed. Finding a bell and gettn a a stahl looks to be a pain. I had given some thought of installing a pa c4. And little spray but idk yet.do you have any insight on the bells. Oh yea I a short block I bought from a guy 9 yrs ago. He had a yard full of merkurs. Even had couple of thos v6 style cars I forget what they were called.

The pinto bell I would need a pinto convertor or custom. The stinger adapter looks like a good route to take it opens up better choices on convertor . Thanks guys.
