i would stay with the stock turbos at first at least, if you dont make enough power then upgrade, it costs the same to upgrade when you buy the kit or later, the bast turbos make boost faster and Cajundude is making 750 to the wheels on thoes turbos, i know he has a forged motor but im not exactly sure on the cubes. definately go with a BOV and boost controller and if you are planning on running big boost a methanol kit too. i dont havea foged motor yet, but i will eventually. also if you have a stock fuel pump youll want to up grade that. good luck its agreat kit, you will love it

We have made over 700 with the stock kit, forged bottom end, and stock heads. With a good set of heads you should be able to get there without switching turbo's, that way they spool up quicker.

Cajundude is running a 402 with the stock turbos and he's making 800rwhp/800rwtq. So the stock turbos should be fine for a 370...

Stock displacement, it made 14lbs without any boost loss.

This was on 16# of boost on the dyno and he has stated in some of his post he has seen 18# on the street, can you say sick for a base STS setup

He has turned it up, but I would guess is maxing out the turbo's with the way he currently setup.
I believe his dyno sheet is on his website.

I was just informed by the other half that I need provide attention.
I was looking forward to some your times this weekend.
If we run into each other, I would be happy toss you the keys to my ride.
Have a good weekend and take some pictures at the event.

So, if that is enough power for you, get the base turbos. I am thinking of upgrading to the 60 ball ball bearing turbos. I still need to get to the track though. Should be soon as the weather is finally in the lower 90s and even the 80s at night. I will try to go on the week of the 17th. I am going to the CF picnic in Dallas on the 16th so I don't want to break anything before then.
Oh yea, before I upgrade the turbos I also want to throw on a 100 shot to see what that will do. Of course, if I do upgrade the turbos, I will probably be upgrading the fuel system as well. Don't think I need it, but it is certainly better to have and not need than to need and not have.
