For a while now I've been pondering the last big mod for my car. I've had a couple turbo-4 cars in the past as well as PD-blown V8s, but never a V8 with turbos. I'm 99% sure that if I go this route, it'll be a Hellion setup.
Boost controller is a must have. A Sai Li triple pump should handle the fueling end, E85 is plentiful in my neck of the woods. I'll stick with my OEM engine (OPG and CS, however) until the event of something untimely happening to it. After that it'll probably be some 5.2 variant.
The debate is 55s versus 62s. The car will probably never see the strip, just nutty street fun. Based on dyno graphs I've seen, I think 55s would be the ticket with that fatter midrange, but there's always that room to grow. I welcome comments from the experienced on this aspect.
Beyond that, I want to hear about installation woes and any regrets. I'm on BMR SP080 springs and love the look, so I'm concerned about any clearance issues there.
Anything you can think of turbo guys, aaaaaaaand go!
