Message: [QUOTE="mikeeg02, post: 1444469, member: 24194"] Im running 238/100s, 366sxe with a 1.0 housing, and supporting mods. I am also a 6 speed truck. (Actually even a 2001) The first time I took it down the track (and first time driving a truck manual trans down a track) I ran 14.9 @ 94 mph. And at 8,000 pounds(sclb drw), and the hp calculator on this site (not sure who's is accurate, some say more, some say less) it says I am right at 450. Im sure once I iron out shifting, it would be faster, but it wasnt built for drag racing, so I may never get down a track again. I also use my truck to haul heavy, and I also use it for trips, so minimal smoke output is important to me. I couldnt ask for a much better setup. It does EVERYTHING I have asked it to do. In a 6 speed config, and trying for a DD application, I'm not sure how much bigger a turbo you would want to go. I fear it could get a bit more laggy, and smokey, especially in town. And I am also afraid you may get a little frustrated, if you spend most your time under the turbo. If you wanted more that what I have, and wanted to run the 250/200s, and still retain controlled smoke output, maybe the same turbo and a gated set of pipes to keep back pressure in check. Currently how mine is setup, its 1:1 right to about 42psi. I cant say for how the 369 comes on, because I havent run it, and the only real difference between that and mine, is on the inducer of the compressor side (all else is the same) it should come on pretty close and give you another couple of pounds of air on top. Maybe if you ran it with a .9 and a gated set of pipes, you wouldnt notice a difference at all. The thing most people overlook is the 6 speed, and the importance for having the turbo come on down low. While still important on an auto, you dont loose all your steam on every shift. [/QUOTE]
