If I go turbo?

[MY 85 GT]

If i go turbo...what else will i need?..the kit im looking at is complete..I already have 42lb injectors,255lph GSS340 fuel pump,adjustable FPR,Im getting a comp blower/nitrous cam,Abaco DBX 95mm MAF sensor, The car is an AOD im having a custom stall speed convertor made..And now if i go turbo i will probably put it 327's or 3.55's what gear do you think?...The car also has GT40 heads..with a 5 angle valve job,bronze valve guides,new stainless exhaust valves,Teflon coated valve seals and Trick flow valve springs..Im going to get a Trick flow track heat intake or Holley system max, I have a BBK 70mm TB....Im going to limit the boost to around 7 psi for now its a 87 stock short block...What do you think I will be able to run with this? It is in a convertible and it is a auto car......Oh yeah im getting a good Air fuel gauge too...

sounds good . . . I'd go with 3.27s personally.

3.55's should be good. Especially if its a street driven car as well. As far as turbo support I think you're good.
What kind of gauge are you getting? Wideband or Narrowband? And are you getting a tune, or a standalone fuel management system?

Im going to get a wideband A/F and im going to get a dyno tune...Im hoping for a nice mild set-up and be bale to runs in the 12's when done...

3.27 without a doubt, you need to load the turbo to make the powerz!

3.08's/3.55's, wideband, and a tune is all you should need, everything else sounds good.

Sounds like your on the right track, my suggestion is go Innovate with the air fuel, we proved it with the dyno. If you know what your reading and don't get to greedy with the boost, you'll be fine. Been running mine setup for 7 years now. I bet you put down 375-425 rwhp easy, even with the auto. Good luck man, if i can help let me know.

What size tire are you running that has a lot to do with gear choice.

Most of the time the car will be it street trim so stock size...which i think is like 25 inches tall?...at the track i might go 28 tall by 10-10.5 wide on a 15 inch rim i think that should work no?
