Me thinks for something like this car would have an inside curb weight, gears and a way to apply the power.



Just form the amount of "help me" threads based of fools with turbos and poor tunes i would say go stroke it, more straight forward imo

Not much to teach, its a simple combo proven over and over through the years, not the fastest thing out there but its more then enough for the average, man. I went to a all motor 362ci now and it makes 2 times as much power on motor as i was making with the blower. Had a c4 and a 3.55 gear in it with 27x10.5s

Heres the old combo i had, this was a street car driven on 93 octane but I had 110 in it for added insurance at the track.

yup, that's what I did with my 89, as for the cam sound, get one that works for a s/c set up so as to not bleed off boost pressure

You dont have to have a stroker to get sound! C/r and cam! Mainly the cam grind.
