96GTS

Little background of my car b/c I'm new here:D 96 GT w/ a stock Cobra motor in it. Ready for the next level. I have Wolfe rear susp and D&D up front, and am currently putting in a Wolfe 10pt cage and mini tubs. Will shorten my rear end to run 325 M/T DRs. Car will be under 3000 lbs w/ me in it.
If I were to go turbo, can you guys help me out? Building a 5.4L Navi motor, .020 over (333ci), cleaned up heads (valve job, valves, new valvetrain, but no porting), and custom cams for whatever power adder I choose. Also a water to air IC in the "backseat". Figure if Tim Palmer ran high 8s with a T88 and a 4.6 w/ stock heads/cams, I should hopefully see 9s on DRs w/ the 5.4L. That isn't asking too much is it?
What compression ratio is best for a turbo? What turbo? How big should the turbo to IC piping be? And how big from the IC to the TB? Any other relevant info would be MUCH appreciated!! Thanks!
