turbo on a 1980 ta with 6.6L well just as the title says ive been thinking about slapping a turbo on my 1980 trans am. its a mild build 400ci. forged internals, cam,intake....., stall, shift kit 3.73 gears,etc. im kind of getting bored and am going to be getting a set of heads soon and was also thinking about throwing a gt40 turbo on it. what do yall think? i only want to run like 6-8lbs of boost nothin wild. after heads i should be around 500hp to the crank. so with that extra boost i think ill be happy with it. let me know what you all think or if anyone here has done it already/

sounds good to me don't listen to black hills tj. he don't know jack. I think throwing the turbo on there and keeping it mild is a great idea. Forced induction has been going on since cars themselves pretty much. Muscle most def. should have a turbo or supercharger on them its where they belong that's how you show the imports how a turbod car is supposed to perform.

Well I really don't think a Turbo belongs on an old school muscle car. Supercharger says muscle car in my opinion.
