Bolt it on and crank the boost up.
Nelson Performance front mount 76/96 on a mostly stock engine with about 10-12lbs should net you well over that. My cammed 5.3 with 12lbs makes 554/557

What's the best way to tune for a Turbo and what mods would I need minus a cam and springs and gaoling top ring
And I have read the stock trans doesn't like the power to well what is ur suggestion on this and what size stall would be best
Stall depends on your can but usually a 3200 if your boost comes in low. I've been thru 6 trans with my set up, one 4l60 four 4l80's and a 700r4 that I slipped the clutches in Wednesday. Got a th400 in the works. If I had it to do over I would have built the trans before I built the turbo kit.
Sounds like u have a tuning problem not trans, or driving wrong...Originally Posted by jansen
I would say, valve springs, pushrods, tune (nelson does the tuning) and then a strong trans for anything 5-7lbs or more. The stock trans wont last long at all. I had a fully built one when I had my first turbo, so I didn't worry about blowing the trans at all.

Stock transmissions lol but my built 80e rolled the overrun sprang on the downshift. Tired of fooling with the 80's the th400 is much more budget friendly to build
U aint makin much power, i dunno how ur blowing trans. Theres guys making plenty more with a 60e and running faster. Still say its the tune.
Think long and hard before goin three speed dude, my brother dknt have a GV and he's at like 3200 rpm at 68-70
Bolded ur problem. Leavein 3rd if ur playing hot rod!
