Yup this is my 1st turbo build. This is confusing shit. But I'm sure the 1st time is always the hardest. I have no motor in the car yet but still doing some research as to how far my limits are with a 60 # injector..
Hot Parts: Real Quicks log setup
Turbo: Turbonetics T76 / .96 ar
Cold side: Universal Ebay setup. 32x12x4 with 3" piping
Forged bottom end (355)
waiting on head, cam and some more block work.... I'll get it going some day. Slow build...

I don't really care for the turbonetics turbos, I much more prefer precision's, have some friends that warn me against the turbonetics.

I'm also building a 355 turbo project right now. If things work out as planned it will be a PT74 turbo using about the same intercooler as yours on stock heads/intake (unless I find a good deal) and custom grind turbo cam.
The 60# are going to run out around 650-700hp, more realistically, around 600-640whp on a turbo application

Thats cool.. My goal is at least 500+ hp. I say 60# injectors because I do not want to get into $$$ with aftermarket systems (FAST, LT1 Edit) Besides there all Chinese to me... I have seen a guy on cz28 that has had great luck with a mail order tune from PCM4LESS

A few of us are growing together here then. I'm in the midst of my big dawg 383 PT76GTS build right now (temp halted for quick resurrection of my grenaded TT Vette). I'm going to have LOTS of questions once my OFI hot parts come in.

You do know that you can run an injector driver to go larger with the injectors on a stock pcm right.

I ran 75# injectors for a little while with an Acceleronics Versa Fueler and had no issues at all... Other than the stock pcm not being too boost friendly.

The log kit should make good power. That same kit already made 574rwhp @ 11psi on a load bearing dyno by one of my other customers.

Just wondering what you don't like about the turbonetics?

I've heard from a few people that they end up getting too much shaft play after a short amount of time and one of my friends made sure to swap his out due to it... when he took that turbo off the play was rediculous
