Factory old iron just can't compete ... ??

not to throw this off course...it's great they can handle all this power but is it in your budget? do the best you can with what you have. those that know will be impressed and those that don't, who cares?
Actually, most buy a 700 hundred dollar junkyard motor and put ebay turbos on them and make 800 hp without a yawn. So actually, they are very budget friendly. You would spend more trying to make 500 HP with a 360. Is it what I'm doing? Not to date, it's really not my cup of tea. But it don't change the facts just because I don't do it.....
