cheers will do i have already had a 1776cc with a GT17 on it which was not to bad but never played with a 1916 thats all

You'll need something fairly decent in size, cos that's a shitload of cam for a turbo engine.
lucky it's for drag.

i have 110s on the shelf but ordered in a 130 to see how it will get up if not go back

Agreeing with Joel here, a 130 is enormous. Still, It'll make some pretty spectacular power figures!

Could be well off here, but a t25 or t28 could be a good start?

More info on the engine, heads etc. Do you have a target HP goal?
