You need to put some twin turbos on that puppy
and see some real potential.

Make same power on half the boost I bet with good intercooled TT set-up

edit: youtube being gay and not letting me link a video.


i love the thought of twin t-70's or t-76's, get a 4.1 inch crank for 445 CI if i remember of the top of my head along with a 225 shot to spool them.

99.9 % of the time unless your on a very well preped track, with fully heated slicks, no. like i said earlier i feal stupid afterwords for doing it.

when you drive a car long enough you can usually "feal" right before it breaks traction and back off, but being on cold pavement and stabbing the throttle around the rpm i developed 90% boost broke them lose and ka-boomed the engine before i literaly knew what had happened.
