Default calling all stock block turbo guys...

I currently have a t3/t4e w/ a 50 trim on my LS and im considering getting something new...what should i go with?

the block will be stock til later this summer...i dont want something with super lag, but want something that throws a massive punch...

any ideas?

What's the rest of your setup now?

Last year, I bought a 60-1 from Full-Race (full-race.com) and got it tuned at a dyno.
I got good results from it.

i would keep the 50 trim, that is the perfect turbo for a stock motor LS.

I would replace the LS tranny with a GSR tranny. That could possibly be the best upgrade for any LS trans user.
50 trim is a decent turbo as long as its a .63 turbine....if its .48 then change it out.

yeah, i could really use a new tranny other than the LS...would it be better to go with a gsr w/ lsd (quaife or R) or just an ITR if i can find one for the right price...

because cost is a factor at this point...i can prolly scrape together 2 g's but i also need to get my hondata and get rid of the afc, get it tuned, and a new w/g (my deltagate is broken i think)

get rid of that deltagate first, then if ur getting a quaffe u will need to decide what tranny u want for the long hual because not all quaffes are interchangeable between trannys.
