1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build

We used a t5 that I worked on.. It seemed fine at 6500 rpm but it was noisey getting it in gear and around the pits.. It had issues keeping boost up after you let go of the clutch.. I had installed an aluminum flywheel and that might have been the problem.. I have all the SVO stuff so I want to try it again.

You are correct the inter cooler doesn't help that much but it is way over factored.. It will be tough to run 11.40's at 2930 pounds .. Now it can go from 2560 to a little over 3000 pounds and N - Q depending on year.. So it makes a lot of sense.. We have a worn out engine right now.. And a bone stock 120,000 mile turbo.. Won't have our rebuilt one for another month or two.. $$$$
