[turbo69bird]

cammer the turbo mount is actually ported very well on the inside and has worked very effiecintly.(looks funky in pics though) I actually built this system in 2004 and have run it on my car for quite some time. I just recently redid it in Stainless.

The set up was designed with a few things in mind and one of them was ease of use. You can get to all your plugs easily. which can be very important between rounds at the track or on the side of the road etc.

The other was to be able to fit more applications.

I do turbo setups for people and I didnt want to have to keep changing the design for different applications. This design uses alot less space than many others and the 4 tube 3 tube issues you would have N/A are not much of a concern with turbo charging.

This set up made 878 HP on my 455 with only 11 psi boost carburated.(NON INTERCOOLED)
Ran 9.70 at 145 off the foot brake

I can turn down the boost and run the car on pump gas all day loing with no adverse afffects then turn the boost back up and go racing!

What more can you ask for in a car.

by the way I did all this with a 76 455 2 bolt block, Arp studs for mains and heads, Turbo cam, 6x heads with no port work just a 1.77 ex valve installed and this header set up, and a $675.00 turbo

I also ran very similar numbers with a 428 based 440 pontiac engine.
Both engines had 8.2 to 1 compression SRP pistons and the 455 uses CAT rods the 428 used SD 455 rods

The car weighs 3250 and runs a 3.73 gear ratio with 28 inch tall tires

With a more advanced timing curve and a more tunable fuel system this car would easily run in the 8's I never really pushed it all that hard.

The car now has a Gen 7 DFI system the stainless headers which will retain more heat energy an intercooler 160 Lb hr injectors, (ported heads still 6x) and a better cam for the bottom end of the RPM curve, The DFI should really help out in the ignition curve area as well.

The car was plenty fast enough for me as is but I just cant leave things alone.LOL
