Turbos like small motors; they’re easy to stuff with fuel, but buy judging haw much power people in here are making w/ 346ci you should be good for about ... 2000rwhp.

big ci will be fine with boost but your looking at making a practically full out race car with a motor that size you should build your 346 or maybe go to a 383 with a good size turbo such as a t76 and you should be good to about 1000-1200rwhp on good gas 104+ octane i would think. To give you an idea my neighbor has a 408 but with twin t88 and he pegged the dyno he probly lookin at about 2600-2800 rwhp. good luck i also will boost my car one day! =)
