Does anyone have good reviews from ponydowns turbo kits? Im trying to figure out what the best turbo size for my 5.0 and the choices a 70mm with a 68ar or 70mm with a 81ar or a 76mm and unknown ar. all from ponydown.com

My motor has a unknown bottom end, x303 cam, gt40p heads 1.7 rockers, victor jr high rise intake, and 750cm holley with a 250shot of nos now. and is a 5spd car.

Hey bud. I can see that you didn't get much attention. Unfortunately, I could not find any credible information about ponydowns.

In any case, the turbos you're looking at sound like Master Power T70s since they commonly come with a .68 A/R and a .81 A/R. They could also be the older style garret T70s. These work fine in 5.0s and are capable of pushing 700-750 hp. I'd recommend the .81 A/R, which should spool quickly and can get you well over 130mph through the traps without the nitrous. The T70 is a great fit for the 5.0 because it make enough power to split the block, it's cheap, and should spool more quickly than the larger turbos.
