PISHTAS turbo build

I have read about as many builds as I can find and it amazes me the power they are making but on top of that the vast differences in builds between custom parts and then the cheapest parts.
My goals make sense in my head but I am never sure they will transfer well to other people.
I mainly want to get the most out of the motor while not doing anything below the head, hopefully retaining the A\C (that will be chunked in a heartbeat if needed though lol) and be able to drive it almost daily. Just not while working on it of course. I may port the head and will definetly add 360 springs that I already have.
I want to get as much boost as I can with a carb, stock or affordable fuel pump, J-Pipe, eBay or used turbo, an intercooler or water-meth injection
The problems comes in where I don't know much and the second I think I have it I read something different. I would like to be able to tune up and down as well as be able to expand later. I hope this isn't too wide open or too optimistic. It will see alot of street time and some track time, and can't forget the occasional red light engagements.


Sounds like fun, but the question still stands; how fast/quick do you want to go (what kind of car will it be in... and at what weight?) Those all have to be answered before you can hope to know what you're going to need.

Think about it and let us know.

It's going to be fun, if you have the patience and persistence to pursue it to its end. Working with stock pistons, rods and crank, and the boost limits (probably 10 pounds) that that kind of a reciprocating assembly will limit you to, will still give you the capability of mid-13's in a 3,000-pound car, I would guess.

That will handle a showroom stock 440, or 340 in the quarter-mile.
