Mind if I ask what turbo? Also, what is optimum for compression numbers. On my old motor I had one cylinder at 395. I recall glenn saying his was around 350. That's considerably lower.

I'll release that once I've figured out if the setup works. Lol. 400psi is considered great numbers. My SD is 400-410 on all cylinders.

Dont worry about that door switch, Glenn. If I figure out I need one, I will hillbilly engineer something. My power window switch cover is cracked anyway.

The truck I'm building for someone else right now will use stage 1s, but a much more responsive turbo for a ZF5. We'll see how that one goes.
What combo are you running for that setup, what rear end gearing as well?

Ah, I was just curious was all to what performs better than a 366 behind a zf5, or what their goals are I guess. That why I asked about gearing as well :-)

I'm just curious about the s369 and how it could flow more air and drop in for a 366...
