Need turbo recommendation
I currently run a first gen with a 98 p pumped 215 engine. Nv4500 trans. I think I am in the 600hp ballpark now, but the truck is new to me so i am still working out bugs before dynoing.
I am running a Silver Bullet 66 and it may need bearing work. I am thinking of changing to a different turbo, possibly compounds? I don't know if I want to stick with the SB66(rebuilt) or possibly use it as my large piece in a set of compounds.
If I keep it and mate it to another, which one? If I get rid of it, what setup should I go with for the following conditions:
rarely may tow 10,000lbs, remeber I live in a hilly part of the state. I know with the 66 I will have to keep it spooled to control heat.
possibly will see the 1/4 mile a few times for fun.
occasionally drive it, not a daily driver.
I would like the quickest spoolup I can get on somewhat of a budget. Keep in mind the 5 spd, spooling up 5 times.
I just want something that is super fast off the line as much as can be expected from a manual trans.
I cannot give in depth details yet as to the exact setup I have. Definitely fuel very heavy until spoolup. I will in the near future find out what DVs,injectors etc. I have. It stinks not knowing, until I delve in and see for myself.
It is said to have a cam, some head work, and other mods.Until I see for myself I cannot say exactly what though.
