Question 272's with Alky, or 280's with RS turbo? Help!

Hello again, I need your advice!

where are the most potential for gains? Keep my 272's and add Alky with stock turbo, or upgrade cams to the 280's and get the Titanium alloy turbo (TME? mika someones) it also has the 10.5 hotside. without the Alky. I will have shiv dyno the car in July, and I will have it dynoed with the 109 unleaded )( VP fuel)either way, I do buy the race gas all the time anyway, but I want the most potential for high HP w/o the jumbo turbos, any advice?

Thank-you all in advance,
Kevin

I would stay with the stock turbo and upgrade to the 10.5T hotside and *** the alky with the 272's. I made 405 whp and 431 trq with the 272's . Here is my dyno sheet.

Nice numbers, is that on race-gas? what does *** the alky mean? get it or not? I hear the install on the 10.5 hotside is costly, and you can get a RS turbo for about the same price! thanks for your response!
