    PTM thinks all us Monte owners have mullets. It's cool though, he has a Neon. I am 34 now, and got my SS when I turned 16.

    haha, no worries. I always thought it was the 3rd gen camaro guys that took that wrap.

    What do you think about a couple HX35's for my setup? I never knew how cheap they could be had until a buddy told me to look into them. According to the spreadsheet I have, they should work (although they might not be optimal)

    Dart Pro 1 aluminum 215's on a 8.5:1 355. Mostly a street car, little RR/AX thrown in. 4.10 gears, ZF6 trans, 3850 lb when it's all said and done. Shooting for ~500-550 on pump gas and 700 on race fuel. I don't see it spinning much past 6000.

    I honestly don't know much of anything about Holsets, but I do know there a lot of different compressors so you need to know which ones you can get before seeing if they will work. Holset builds turbos for companies that buy 1 million at a time, so there are all kinds of combos out there.

    It seems to be pretty hard to come by a compressor map for the cummins turbos, and when you find one sometimes they are in question... I have a few saved to my computer, and they seem to be delimited by model year of the truck. I guess when I get to that point in the build, I'll see what is available and go from there.

    That is the problem, they come in many different sizes and blade counts, each one with a different compressor map that you most likely can't get. BW turbos are about the same money brand new, but you can get maps for most of those.

    Looks like a nice build.
