Exactly.

My basic plan is to make power through efficiency rather than big boost... which should be better for reliability.

We've got a massively ported G-head with oversize valves, a much larger roller cam, ported two-piece intake manifold, ported stock exhaust manifold, and a plain old Turbonetics Super60 with a 3" swingvalve instead of a 2.5".

The Super60 is probably a bit small considering the other hard parts, but with 2.5L and good flow, it should spool better than something huge.

I'd like to run 18PSI for fun and 16PSI on track.... not many people use old turbo Dodges for road course work, so I need to pay lots of attention to heat and oiling.
