I'm jumping on this kinda later but according to everything i've been reading here i'm driving a time bomb, I have a completely stock 96 Z with an intercooled sts and I have been blowing 11 psi for the entire summer in my daily driver, and I have to say it loves it.

 

I built my own setup back in ~2004 on my old old formula, ran a mp t70. I have pics somewhere, but not sure where it's been so long, really the build wasn't that hard. Although I have since had a rear mount ls1 and two front mount lt1 kits, I HIGHLY recommend a front mount setup. I used realquick's hot parts and the spool time is a HUGE difference between the rear/front. Don't get me wrong, you can make a rear mount setup work, but just not a fan of it after having a front mount setup.

 

What A/R turbine housing did you use?

 

.84 on the t70 rear mount
.96 on the front mount t76

The rear mount was a le3 heads, futral custom cam, 355 also. A .68 housing would've chocked it back on the top end which is why I never went with that.

The stock heads/cam front mount still out spooled it. I say sell the heads/cam and use that money for a front mount setup, you can easily push mid 10's on stock heads/cam, I went 10.80 with a slipping STOCK tranny, 42lb injectors at 70lbs fuel pressure(maxed out), and only 11.5lbs of boost, all on stock heads/cam with lt4 valve springs.
