Here you go @TOOLOW91

Master power t70 with a .70 compressor ar and a .96 turbine ar

Tial wastegate and blow off valve

Thinking about swapping out the headers for a set of pony down headers instead I'll fit these up to see how I like them before I pull the trigger.

Very cool. Can't wait to see the results. The headers look fairly thick gauged steel and a descent design

If you were close by I'd love to help work on it. lol. Out of curiosity do you have the fuel system to support the turbo upgrade?

Well that would be good enough for 500 or so hp. I would think you'd hit that with very low boost numbers.

Well the motor now is just 400 to the crank so boost will be under 10 lbs

@MY 85 GT im using the 255 because that's is what was required to flow the 42s I could've gone bigger but that's what was initially in the car when I bought it so I had no reason to Change it. Yeah I have a tci c4 with a transbrake should be fun. I'm hoping to stay around the 500 because I don't want to have to put a new fuel system in although it won't be that hard with these cars.

It had a 9.5 inch convertor and it was like a 3500 stall...it has a big trans cooler the same one that's backing my lentech AOD and the car runs about 20 degrees cooler from the C4 to AOD...I know the convertor didn't help...but still missed driving on the highway without OD...if it was an all out race car I would have kept c4 but mine is an all around car so I wanted the option of that with an OD again....

Yeah I actually don't drive this thing any great distances around the corner and what not if I take it somewhere like ocean city for cruise week I'll just trailer it same with the track I'll just trailer it in case I break something. Mine has a 10" converter with around 3-3500 stall I have a cooler on it now but when I put the turbo on I'm gonna relocate it to the rear with a fan attached to it

Mmmmmm.... shiney.

I probably couldn't tell you one turbo from another. Hopefully that one is sized to spool quickly (particularly since you're already 400 n/a). The torque boost should be very nice.
