how can i get 400hp out of a 318?
BTW rat patrol that is a gnarly looking setup you have. cant even tell its a 318. how much if you had to guess is tied up in that build?
Not my build Cowboy..my engine builders ex- rig. (Mine's just a low 12 sec 392 stroker.)
I wouldn't like to comment on cost as its not my engine.
A lot of the fabrication was done by a mutual friend who has now passed on (ex Nascar mechanic) - Runs a Wolf 3D EFI and Twin master power turbos which is where the $$$ are.

132 MPH at 11.0 in his car.
Engine is now sold. Made 10.2 at 134mph last run.
Not a half bad "318" LOL!!
PS - Sorry to the OP for the OT - but a single turbo is a great idea if you know someone who can build it.
