I have an '87 with a Paxton SN-93.
Stock Long Block, I just bought a SuperRam to put on it and would like to know which TB to go with. The stock 48mm, 52mm, 58mm, or 1300cfm mono blade..

I dont have a boost gauge, but the guy i bought the kit from said he made 7#. With the stock l98 and exhaust and the blower being the only mods it made 296/395, so if you go with the usual 10hp per 1 psi of boost its making around 10#.

Spend your money elsewhere. water/alky for example.
With your combo your not approaching restriction, so keep the throttle resolution.
There are other goodies that will net you larger gains at your current stage.

I stuff 710rwhp @7400rpm thru a stocker with one honkin' turbo and 383 inches.
