2 t70s would put you in the 8s ez(with a good tune) You can get a single turbo that'll put you in the low 7s hi 6s...

if the class you race in allows twins, I would probably go that route.

Start looking at some 101 or 106mm if you go singles. Also take a look at the times the Blue Oval guys are running w/ Cartek's Dominator kit.

Find a different message board. I think you are starting at the wrong place .

Good luck!

For your hp wants (1500 hp) I would stick with the t-70's or step back to a set of t-66's or t-68's. Reasoning on not using the big single is to spool it up. A 101-106 mm turbo is going to produce well over what you are wanting (1500) I have a set of 66's that i had on my car and was going for about what you are but with a few changes i went with a single big turbo to go all out. (t-100)

Basically you can accomplish what you are after either way. I have seen twin t-70's make 1670 hp running a air-air inetercooler setup.

Imo its going to be all in the tune and how you set it all up. I choose to use a lil less boost and run more compression in the motor.

Who did your headers?

If your going to run a 106mm, just make sure your motor is over 400cid. spool up time takes days with anything less.

No a mustang with a 306 ci setup.

Have seen turbo's in the t-70 series in twins on a black gn (not chow's car) as well as some others, but the one I am refering to is a mustang.
