Looks awesome Charlie! great work.
Here's an idea. Can't resist, I'm a designer and have letters and stuff made like this all the time. But on the other hand I don't mind the GMC just to keep them confused!

I like the clean look of the whole job you've done.

Charley,

What a great job. You are a true craftsman.
I did a Turbo back in 1979 on my corvette. When I got above 8 psi, I used an Edelbrock " varajection" unit.
I don't think they still offer one. It did water injection under boost. That did stop the pinging.
I did use alcohol when I raised the boost to 10 psi. That 350 ran like it was on fire...

Good luck on the flats. You will see some jaw dropping moments when guys look under the hood.

No such thing as too much power!!! However, as many may know, it is not just the equipment, it is mainly in the tune. Too fat, no power, too lean, burn everything up. Too little advance, no power, too far advanced, detonation will destroy everything. Too much heat in the charge, low power and asking for detonation again. I'm starting with primary jets at 74 and secondaries at 84. Timing will start at 20* all in. The water-to -air intercooler with ice water and another heat exchanger to cool the water a little before returning to the tank is my best effort to cool the charge. The waste gate is set at 5psi to start, but I have a manual controller to take it a little higher. Something tells me 10 psi boost is all this little engine with off the shelf parts can take. I'm trying to cover all the bases, but this will be a learning curve to deal with.

If you don't have enough HP with this setup I dunno what would keep you happy. A blown Allison maybe!

Good eye Frank, that carb on the engine has vacuum secondaries but was used for run-in purposes. Carb selection was just another learning curve that I had to get over. The carb for the turbo is a SS-650-BAN Quick Fuel blow thru unit. I talked to Rich at RDRacing and then with tech support at Quick Fuel and they both agreed that this was the carb given my application, size of engine and range of hp. Rich sent me the unit and has been very helpful in setting it up.

Just for fun........

Awesome work Charlie. I do wonder if you're going to use a mechanical secondary carb. The Vacuum Secondary thing won't work well in a pressurized setup. The higher than ambient press to the diaphragm blows the secondaries shut.
