We havent ran an intercooler on the last 3 blow-thru cars and they were all 20 psi+ and ran 8's

turbomustangs.com (www.theturboforums.com) is your best bet. There is a carb section for blow-thru and I'm not into it really so I'm the last person you'll want to talk to about it. Klu408 has made good progress with his setup though...keep that in consideration if you decide to try this.

There's always room........





Taylor,you also have to take your rotating assembly into consideration. What kind of pistons and compression are you currently running? Head gaskets? Oil pressure?,etc. As Coupe said,it's not a simple bolt on,and to do it right ain't cheap. Just some food for thought.

im using factory e7's that are going to be ported. i have the factory displacment motor and gonna rebuild it and have it running and driving before anything is done about the turbo. so its gonna be a fresh 302 with ported fatory e7's as far as compression i dont know what it is factory so i am assuming its not going to be so high that its gonna hurt to run a turbo considering mine runs fine on 87(when it was 4bucks a gallon) so basically i am up against fabbing tthe exhaust, fitting the turbo, and tuning the carb. and basically everything else is making sure it will fit under the hood right?

Sounds simple...but I would still set aside a $couple-thousand... just in case.

Are you going to have a stock trans behind this? That's something else to consider.
