I have no experience with a 66 and stock sticks....but I believe it won't be fun to drive. Just ain't gonna have the fuel to spool that charger. Raising the shift points to keep the rpms and boost up will help some....but without the fuel from bigger sticks, it just wouldn't be fun to drive.

You think the s362 FMW is better all around than say a KC 1.5/2 ? I've followed some threads so i know you're a non-vgt guy Swinky, but just seeing if it's worth the extra time and money. No idea if i'll up the power later, but if i go with the s362, it only makes sense to stay non-vgt in the future.

I'll be running 175/stock injectors. 500hp is the goal, and honestly don't really wanna go much over that. Trying to keep this stock tranny for while lol. That being said i stear clear of boosted launches.
Yeah a 362 is a great turbo. My goal last year was 12s.... This year it's 11s lol but anyways I really don't think a 362 is more expensive than a stage 2.

If your staying with stock sticks...I'd go with the 62fmw over the 64fmw. Just because I know of a few running the 62 with stock sticks and love it.

362 fmw is a beast. We put down 562 on 175/100's and that was a cast wheel. We have our kits on special know also to any that are interested.

What are you plans to get the truck into the 11s this year? And back to the topic don't run a 66 with stock sticks I did it until I got my bigger sticks and it was terrible it wasn't even streetable just go with the 62 on the stock sticks ans you will be happy.

Just going to spray it for now so I can be competitive in 7.70 index in April. Then an adrenaline hpop, S371 and 285/100 conventionals. I'll decide this winter if I want to put my big boy pants on and build a motor.

:poke: Do it.

How much are you planning on spraying for April?

Whatever it takes. I think with the caltracs, weight reduction, some practice launching the old girl and the few parts I have left to put on I should see 7.8-7.9. Should just take a little 60ish jet.

It's not bad at all. Not sure what the big deal is. I did up pipes, injectors, s366 and regulated return in a weekend in my parking lot with a 3 drawer craftsman toolbox.

But your a puddle pirate so you are more powerful and have the most intelligence than the rest of the world combined...
