A turbo with 4.05 or 4.45 would come out of a corner good with the short gears I think just need R compounds

I thought you were a big S/C guy but had bad luck so went turbo. Thanks for all the advice tho I know very little about the LSJ I just want it to rev to 7000rpm and not have cooling issues so I can make laps thats all. You guys are saying the M62 will work great and I know I can find used parts for that I just want min 350hp or so. Its going to be a totally stripped race car I don't need or want a ton of HP

it will pull all the way to 7000 with no let off. if i was to guess, i think i have about 280 to the wheels. 280 is deceiving coz it gets down the road like a 300 hp turbo would. thats the meaty power curve we are talking about that the sc has. plus it sounds way cooler doing it lol. remember the meat of my boost goes all the way from 1800 all the way to 7000 rpm.

My baby turbo runs out of breath at 5k thats why i wanted a k04+ just to hold boost longer not for the hp

Thats a little on the high side. You would probably make 280whp with meth and a custom tune. I made 260whp 225wtq on my 2.8" and meth but fully stock exhaust. Still ran a 13.6@104 on that haha.
My last TVS set up pulled like a freight train all the way to 8000rpm. One of the few things I'm gonna miss.

I would love to pull to 7800rpm
well my lil m62 doesnt run out of breath. you may not get 350 hp out of it, but you will get consistent power through out the whole gear. thats why i was surprised you said you wanted to turbo convert it for auto cross. i feel you will have more reliable fun if you stayed on a m62, and put a turbo suspension in it.
i wouldnt say that blue, i have done a few things different since you last looked at my mods. we figured i will be close to 290/300 with meth, new tune, and pnp head. thats the plan for this year.
