Kinda jumped the gun when i started with the motor, if it proves to be too doggy ill swap back to some stock 862 heads. I enjoyed reading through your blazer build by the way

Thanks.

Yours might be alright with that small T4 housing on there...should light up pretty fast and be pretty fun around town.

With the 317s on mine, I had a big A/R T6 on it, and it took a bit for it to come online...so off idle torque was needed.

Yes, my buddy said i should be alright, at least if i opt to switch to some different heads its fairly easy and i always could just slap a bigger turbo on...
