I've got one, not making much right now but it should see about 380-400rwhp on a single DIY setup. Currently it should be making about 300rwhp through a blown headgasket and really bad state of tune (wrong maf, wrong mufflers, wrong plugs, you get the point). Once its running right and all set up properly it should be making about 330rwhp at the same boost level (7lbs). I've learned that turbo cars can be finicky when you dont get the right parts the first time around, but considering it took me a week and a half to get the car from N/A to Turbo it doesnt bother me. This year I hope to see 11's with pretty much the same setup.

60-1 is a common upgrade for guys upping their game in a RX-7. Never seen one on a stang, should be cool. Not sure what I am doing with my set up. I have a single and a twin set up in my garage. Just saw an article about a dude with 8 turbo's on his GM street car. The turbo's were small, custom euro order, he was still only making in the 600 hp range. More for show I guess.

I built my 351 for boost.
I was going the cheap way with a blow thru carb setup but then changed my mind and will use the magasquert setup and truck lower intake with custom upper.

Dont help right now that my cougar has been wrote off so my plans will be put on hold for a little wile. The Motor has a good crank and rods and arp studs in the bottom and top holding everything together.
Pistons are forged 22cc dished piston that yeld a 8.3:1 compresson with my open chamber heads plus i have the Hell fire rings in there.

On the computer it say this motor should make around 550 600 range at 14lbs of boost. My goal is to make same power on boost as i would on spray.
As for when i will have the kit on the car i wanted this for may 24 weekend.
But with setbacks i hope to have it ready around end of summer or sooner if things work out better.

I plan on Going junkyard Twin turbo next winter... from what I see over on Turbomustangs.com, a JYTT setup with .60/63 T3's will make around 400-480RWHP intercooled.
