    anyone have any single turbo drag race setup engines? pictures? and had anyone heard of using a 6.0 ford turbo or a duramax turbo on a gas engine.

    Those diesel turbos would be too small for a 455. You would need one from a bigger diesel.

    Lonnie I am using a Garrett ball bearing turbo for the 7.3 Ford upgrade. This was going on Jenn's dragster with the 350 Buick, But we will instead be using it with our 11 to 1 401 Nailhead. We are using an 8 tube Hilborn adapted to run on boost. Simple as changing the 8 nozzles and making 2 log manifolds. The waste-gate is a mechanically adjustable and we will also be using a secondary pressure relief to the intake. We generally ran the car with a high speed bypass to ease back on the fuel but we should be able to get away from needing it.
    The engine is straight methanol for fuel. I may add a small amount, up to 20%, of nitro if it falls short of where I am aiming:Brow:

    I really want to run nitro on the street. (high gravity beers give you great ideas!)
