Reply to "What do you guys think of..."

Don't get me wrong, I like the turbos, but I have seen guys boasting 500hp from turbos, and I have seen much more simple non-turbo setups with 500+ hp.

I have an example of an application I think would be good for a turbo. I am building a V6 MGB:

I really thought about puting a turbo on it for a couple reasons. First to go to a bigger engine would offset the weight of the car. Second, there are no good heads for the basic 3.4L. If I can get the air to go through why not blow it through.

But on a Pantera, there are so many big CI strokers which won't really effect the weight of the car that much. I think the turbos are cool and I love to see people like yourself experiment with it; especially when we can all read about that which is learned. It is just when I see a 500hp turbo set up next to a 500hp stroked Windser or something like that, I would not go turbo myself. If I was racing salt flats or something like that it would be good to get the HP up to 1000-1500hp but then your not looking at engine reliability.

I do have one question though. You require a lower compression with turbos. I would suspect it made it very streatable?
