100% streetable. Get it tuned, and leave it alone. 500hp on pump gas would be as easy as pie.

Let me put it to you this way... Its so easy to make 500hp with a 351 and small frame turbo, that you'll probably make 550 accidently. I see it all the time with turbo guys. Its happend to me with my little turbo 4 cylinder. Was shooting for 400bhp.. made over 530bhp with the same expectations.

I dont own a Ford 2.3. I was using my Dodge 2.2L turbo as an example to further back my response. With turbocharging.. you can lay safe bet that you'll make more power than you were expecting, thats all im saying. Its very easy to make alot of power with an efficient intercooled turbocharged system.

I never really understood twins for a street car. I understand that back in the day people swore by twins for boost response, but its not like that today. I dont understand why people get excited about twins anymore. For a street car, single is where its at.

Twin T3s on a 5.0 start spooling at about 1500 and hit full boost by 2500.

With a single 67-70mm you are looking at full boost by 3500. That is one reason to go with twins.

Alternatively, two 70 mm turbos can produce a lot of power and can be easier to package that one huge turbo.

but single is definitely cheaper and easier.

I will never argue that twins can make alot of power, and sometimes more than a nicely tuned single. I will say though, with twins comes two of everything. Extra plumbing, more exhaust fabbricating and over all more elaborate layout. Easier to package? Ahhhh, i think the single will win that... less is easier, and with twins theres more of everything. Like i said, i understand why twins USED to be the hot ticket, but you dont need twins now to get excellent boost response.

I agree that singles are way easier, but two twins can be easier to package...look at the incon kits of the past. Two turbos mounted between the headers and H-pipe...pretty nice, noway you could fit a big single in the same location.

Incon? Oh, you mean the guys that are no longer in business? Ahh, i see. Before i get all worked up... what exactly do you mean by packaged? Because i could be taking this the wrong way... as i usually do these days. These days, the most successful systems for the street are singles. Cheap, easy to fab, and work without any major modification.. that would be a better package in my eyes, but we might have a different idea on what is a better package.

my vote goes to single, less parts + more power = faster time and less problems

i agree if u are starting from scratch going from a 4 to 8 then go stright to a 351 i was going to go with a 351 but i already had the 302...i know poor excuse but FUCK OFF ..lol ...

but i say ditch the turbos and just go with a 408 stroker with some afr 205's nice intake then ither beef up or get a new tranny... and some strong sub frame connectors

u will be over 500 hp N/A and STILL HAVE ROOM FOR A BOTTLE

or save up another 2k and make me jelous and do a turbo 408 like my next build is gonna be
