You can run low 11's with a turbocharged slant six... and use 2.91 gears, no mufflers, and it will like it.... smooth idle and great driveability, and probably cheaper than a big V8.
I know I could do much faster, but remember I still want it as a street machine, not too much cage work, so when I say 11's, its more because of all the rules when running under 11 an 10.
I want to do the 383 because, I think its a perfect canidate. TRW forged pistons not bored just honed, in the 8.9:1 Cr range, forged crank amd rods, 915 head with the larger valves, single plane intake. I currently have a .509 lift cam with a custom grind, but I dont have all the info on it becaus it came to me from a third party who could not find the info, so I dont know how much overlap or duration, but it runs very strong but has a really good idle for the lift. I may shop for a different cam that is good for a forced induction. Will my current MSD Distributor be okay with a force induction. If a get a Boostmaster, its a pro billet?
