New to turbos and need advice First let me thank you in advance for your help and patience. I have been building cars and engines for years but this is my first venture into turbos.
My car is a 1967 Buick Sport Wagon. Weight is right around 4000 lbs. Currently running an lq4 with mildly ported 317s. Cam is vrx4 (228/230, .588/.592, 112+4) with a performer rpm and Holley 770. Trans is a turbo 400 with a 3000 stall. 3.36 gears in the rear.
My plan is to run a Victor intake with a Quick fuel 750 blow thru carb. More than likely use truck manifold due to space. My car is a weekend cruiser mostly, occasional track night. I would like to see mid to low 11s with a single turbo.
What turbo would you guys recommend? Would I have to change my cam? I have been reading up on forced induction trying to geta good understanding of how it all works together. Any suggested reading?
