precision turbo question
Right now during the Holidays, FP will upgrade a IX turbo for only $500. I thought that you already had the used turbo. For $500 it seemed like a no brainer to me vs. the cost of bearings and seals, that's all.
Everyone is different, I would rather run a 71 HTA turbo with stock cams than a stock IX turbo with 272's. But, that is just me. The money that you will spend on aftermarket cams plus a rebuild kit, I would spend on upgrading the turbo and keep the stock cams.

I already have 264's and to be honest they aren't that aggressive!! So I would keep those in if I went green
Agreed I regret getting bigger cams with my relative small turbo set up.. Bye bye torque

You mad bro?
BTW, I never said that your car wasn't respectable for what was done to it... I just said I think that is slow, that's all. Do your thing, man. If that's fast 2 you, then so be it. Have fun with it and don't worry about it. We'll never know if I could run with it with the same mods because I wouldn't leave my car stock. But its fine that you do.
My times have never been posted because I have done a bit of grudge racing in our area and I don't want that out there.

there was 2 goals in mind building my car a 9 sec pass at 140mph.Blue_05EVO: When i was using the stock turbo I was running Cosworth M3's and there was a few people that said they were to big... My car made 412ft/lbs so big cams really dont hurt you at all (for the most part). it's now running a 10:1 motor and an BB FP Black. and they work quite well for that too.
