You hope to achieve a twin turbo big block "boat anchor"? I would have higher expectations!

The parts in my car? We supplied everything. Which parts are you interested in?

Thanks, "tuning for part throttle" and "tuning for closed loop boost conditions" are two entirely different things, and it is a topic that creates a lot of confusion. One where specifics are needed to describe what is actually being discussed.

That Boat Anchor, is an 8-9 second 1000-2000 hp Boat Anchor. Id take that over a stock SRT-8 I mean light cheap car by comparrison.

If a big block is a boat anchor, that 1500 extra hp more than makes up for any possible issue the extra weight adds. If you want light, get a 4 cylender.

Agreed. I wish I had 3 boat anchors.

X 2, and make them all alloy.

I dont understand why everyone wants to tune a smalblock, or the smallest lightest thing they can get. I do understand less weight needs less power to yeald the same performance, but when more cubic displacement more than outputs enough hp extra to compensate why use a small engine? If high power race cars was the ultimate formula, then why does drag racers use 512/540/572 big blocks? Any of those 3000,5000,7000 hp engines built from a 318, 305, 289? I dont think so. Show me a 700hp 289, and Ill ask for the same design from a 572 and my car will be faster.

The only downside to the big block is fuel echonomy.

Not necessarily. We aint talking carbs anymore. Our 426 gets better fuel mileage than a 6.1L on the interstate.
