turbo questions

can you safely run 8psi on a fairly stock but rebuilt v8 and does the computer need redone i am looking at a single turbo kit but honestly know nothing about them. any positive feed back would be appreciated .

What kind of V8, and what type of pistons, and hardware were used. Yes you will need a dyno tune or some type of air/fuel metering. And by saying 8lbs is all dependent on the size of the turbo. If I were doing a 302 turbo, I would probably run twin T28s. But it all depends on what supporting mods you have.

it is a 305 tuned port injection did nt do rebuild last owner did i pulled heads 30 over flat top cast pistons i put a set of large valve cast heads on it dont know what cam it has it is also a 5 speed but doubt that is relevant.

I dont know Chevys well at all but your best bet is google and the car specific forums. I found this in like 2 seconds http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/power-adder/373928-anybody-twin-turbo-305-a.html

you could do a remote mounted turbo,where the turbo is back by the mufflers...otherwise you will need to route all of your exhaust to the turbo and that would require new manifolds. to be honest,your best bet would be super charger.

Here is what Jon is talking about http://ststurbo.com/
They are rear mount turbos, and to tell you the truth I have never really understood why nobody runs them. They seem good on paper and everything but I havent researched them enough to know the pros and cons of them. But I did look into a kit for my old Eclipse once. I would build a nice stroker motor and make it all forged and ready for a S/C conversion later on.

thanks guys but i might justgo with the stroker motor idea 400 to 450 horse is enough for me i hope. if i had more money and knowledge twin turbo at 30 psi sounds good but i ain t ready
