Turbo 5.3 build

Is that a magnum powers 76Q turbo? Curious to see how they perform.

It's the p trim t76 with the ball bearing upgrade. For a little known company I've been happy so far and it seems to be quality built but I plan to upgrade to something bigger this winter.

It's the Edelbrock pro flo. The Holley intake is to tall to fit under the stock hood

they have 2 dont they? the mid rise and hi rise thats why i asked.

The Edelbrock pro flo and the holley high ram are the only 2 true ram style intakes. The holley mid ram is a dual plane carb intake with the plenum bolted on top to give the look of the high ram. The mid ram will fit our cars I think as its the sane height as the pro flo but I don't see why anyone would want it because you pretty much loose the advantages of that style if intake other than the added volume from the plenum. If you want to a carb style intake a vr jr or super victor with a 4150 tb is the way to go.

What transmission are you running and did you have to do any modification to the driveline. Byw car looks bad ass

T56 trans I had to cut about 2 inches out if the driveshaft and make a new crossmember but that's basically it. It's a royal pita to find somewhere to mount the clutch pedal tho. I'm switching to a 4l80 this winter to be more friendly with the big turbo and everything with the new engine setup I'm working on.

you really like the t-56 ? I hate it in the car I ordered

 

[Stringbean]

Nope I hate it with a passion shifts like crap one of the biggest reasons I'm taking it out for a auto. Only thing I like about is that I can cruse at 60 turning 1300 rpm
