I have a 86 Buick engine and it is in a 1973 Chevy LUV. I am running a ATI Procharger with 22# boost, PTE hyd roller cam kit, 8.5:1 TRW pistons all billet main caps, stock rods with ARP bolts, FAST bank to bank with wide band. I want to install a turbo cause I think it will be faster and I,m really getting tired of throwing belts on the blower. My best ET has been 11.4 @ 118 with 1.75 60FT. Its really hard to get a good 60ft with no boost when you leave. I also have a 700R4 with a flash stall of 4200, break stall of 3400. Do any of you have any good ideas? Maby ATR headers and a PTE PT70 turbo?
 
Stock GN headers will get the job done well into the low 10's.

How fast do you want to go and what does your truck weigh with you in it?

I assume you have ported heads?

What size injectors are you running?

What size tires and gears are you running?

Are you using OD or only 3rd gear to cross the finish line?
 
I want to run at least 10 flat or high 9'z
Ported intakeand GN1heads
83lb injectors
31x18.5x15 slicks
4.11 gears
currently runningthrough traps @ 5000RPM in 3rd
I have been looking @ the TA performance headers, any good?
I think maby a T70 bal bearing and a 218/212 hyd roller
