Thread: Tuning a 408 GTO with turbo

    Tuning a 408 GTO with turbo

    Hey guys and girls..
    Dumb question of the day.. Trying to get my stuff in order before I tune this thing.. Basically its a 2005 GTO that we did with a mag blower on it.. It made good power but engine was so efficient the blower ended up being the weak link.. SO naturally blower is sold and we are fabbing a turbo kit for it
    I'm a big Ford tuner and would tune this thing with a blow through maf application normally but I'm trying to decide how to approach this thing from a tuning stand point.. Will a GM maf support this type of application in blow through configuration? Or should I go SD only with a custom operating system? I sent out a few pms with no replies so figured I'd make a post about it.. Trying to get some good info on which way to go with it..
    Thanks all!

    He's wanting to keep it pump gas safe but make good power.. So 14-15psi at most I imagine.. But you know how it goes.. This is why I was considering SD all the way.. Just trying to get some insight I've never used one of the HPT custom operating systems and was considering giving it a shot..
