    NO I'm not doubting any of you guys in fact I am really glad to get advice I'm just working on a budget and don't want to buy another turbo later when I up the cubes and trans.

    Build trans now and get turbo later. I know it doesn't increase your HP but it does help you go faster. How, you ask?? Because if you add the turbo first without building the trans, you'll be sitting at a dead stop!! Anybody smell burnt tranny fluid???

    Well I just bought my turbo kit and ended up buying a t-66 hybrid for better spool, transngo shift kit, walbro 255, wideband o2, and boost guage. Now I just need the 43 lbs injectors direct swap type any recomendations!

    Yeah buy 60lb injectors. Don't mess with 42s. They are good, but your going to max them out sooner or later.

    The guy swears up and down all I need is 43lbs seeings how all I am doing is making 400hp or a little over at the rear wheel right now! So where can I get the direct swap ones?

    If you are for sure not going over 400 then get those because they will be fine. I was just saying get 60 because your going to want more power. But IDK which 60s are direct swap, I made small changes to my 60s and they worked.
