Tom's been running one for years now.



Yeah, I have been in contact with Tom for the past few weeks. He mentioned that the .63 would be a better choice for quicker spool up, highway milage, etc. If I wanted to go higher power, then he advised to go with the .82.



Now I believe I qualified that statement by saying that .63 on a 3L would be spooling below 2000 rpm right? I also said that it would restrict high end breathing but would work very well for huge midrange torque. It'd be all over at about 6000 rpm.
Then I said that .82 was good because I felt the 3L had enough torque already for normal street/strip cars.
That said, the .62 stage 3 turbine with the escape cams would generate HUGE torque and would prove really nice with drag radials at the srip for a great 1/4 mile car.
