Probably stage just like the diesel boys . Man 3 stages of Nos you won't need the turbo. That PT88 with the right convertor should move right out. If you haven't yet get on the internet and find a turbo board like this and start reading and asking questions. Yellowbullet.com is one, seems to be alot of hair dryers there. But they seem to have alot of fords , but the technology is the same. Amazing amount of info there. Later Rick

Either way it ought to be a whole different car come spring. Steve's building me a tranny for it with a 4-4500 stall, Getting rid of the 700R4, new 4.88 gears, up grade from the 3.73. Full spool with Mark Williams axles . Weight reduction of about 800 pounds. Oughta d**n sure get me out of the Sportsman class ;D
