Thanks for getting back gents, and sorry for the delayed response. Touching on all three responses, I'd first say, in hindsight, that I probably over estimated the boost level I'd need for a decent street performer. At the same time I did take note of someone else's comment about boost being addictive. I've only owned one turbo'd car in my life and that not so little afterburner effect has stayed with me all this time.
As to the higher static comp. I'm not against that in any way but it's always there putting ooomph against the bottom end whereas the boost comes rolling on only when needed. So that's kind of my train of thought at the moment.
While on the subject of boost here's an interesting tidbit. I have here a Paxton blower given to me by an old time drag racer from Long Island NY back in the 60's-70's. I have pics but can't post them (files too big/poor computer skills) which is too bad. He told me it came off of a 6 cyl. Corvette. It has the mount bracket/idler still on it and a mixed bag of pulleys plus two carb hats and 'T' for the plumbing. The bearings are shot. It's ser# is VR-58-E-2800531. There's also what appears to be a press. regulator also with the Paxton name on it. A warning tag on it says the warranty is void above 5 lbs. boost. If the '58' in the number is the year this seems like it might be a mega-find as coolness goes. 'Your collective thoughts?
