wow... really nice work and creative packaging. That Stealth Ram looks nice in there. I bet you were amazed it fit under the hood. How do you get it to hook. Any rear tire size mods? I have far less power and have traction problems. Were you able to keep the AC compressor? What heads?...what exhaust manifolds? What transmission? Ever run it at the track? I'm gunning for a F type coupe or time of 12.0 at 120 with my Chevy 406 project.

Did you re-jet your carb after the turbos were installed? How did the engine run before you installed the turbos? Do a little research on the difference between "blow thru" and "draw thru" carburetor/turbo installations. The increased air flow and "blow through" setup without adjusting fuel metering in the carb could be causing your rich mixture. Look at your spark plugs to verify a rich/lean mixture.

Installed 2 sets of smaller turbos .48 AR on the Turbine side/ .60 AR on the comprssor side - now I have compression on WOT and the blow through hiss after I let off the accelerator. My issuse is that the oil seeps into the turbo and the smokes at throttle. i have 40 - 45 psi on the oil pressure. So I put in oil restrictors and now thinking of lowering the oil level to reduce pressure to 30-35psi.
THANK YOU DAVE will certainly take a closer look at the Carbs.

Sorry Just seeing this now. So I reduced the Twin Turbos to .48 AR Turbine side and /.60 AR Compression side and now they have compression. Didn't do a highway test yet. but they feel good on local streets doing 50mph. Still not seeing crazy power. next is to see if I can get it properly tuned by a pro. This should be interesting. I like in Northeast NJ, Bergen county any one know a good old time hot rod SBC mechanic near me?
