Steve Danielson suggested that a bunch of
us should hit NED on August 5th.

Leave
the TA-60 in the trunk until you have a set of larger injectors.


Why wouldn't the blue tops work with that?

The TA60 should be fine with 36lbs.

I wont be running tons of boost.

Remember a 60 is not that much bigger than a 49-44

I just looked it up. The TA-60 flows 832cfm. The TE-44 is about 850 cfm.
I thought that the TA-60 flowed more than that. I still think you'd be
running the 36's static with a 60. My 30's run static with a stock turbo.
I can't find the rating, but I think the stock turbo flows 560 cfm. I think
you'd be better off with a set of 009's or even MSD 50's. IMHO

Oh I agree 100%...  but I wont be pushing the ta60 hard until I do have the larger injectors.  

I got the 36ers before my stock turbo started to blow oil...  So you know I didnt plan ahead far enough!

I might be able to swing that, too. I just hate to miss a chance to go with the way the weather and my schedule has been. If I'm the only Buick there, maybe it will look faster. :rolleyes;

They probably be runnin' their other vehicles. Steve has
an S-10, and Mike (Pronto) has a Nissan Maxima that we
installed a performance exhaust in. He's dying to try it
out at the track. They're nudging me to run the Mazda, so
they can see what the nitrous does. I kind want to know too !
