You won't have a choice but to go bigger for that kind of power on only 91octane gas. you're looking at anything over 61-65lbs/min for that. These include the SC61, GT3540S, GT35R, 60-1, Borg-warner S360NET, Borg-warner S259, and Precision 61 and 6262 series.

yea i was looking into the sc61 and the 60-1 but wasnt really sure if it would make the power that i was looking for. i know the 35r would make that easily but i wanted to keep it journal bearing. which turbine a/r do you think would be best to use?
