Turbo motor ran NA

Anyone run Turbo motor NA. I'm thinking a 408 with 9.5 compression and a turbo cam. How would it run NA. Better then stock ls1. How much better

I think that's going to depend, but i know an old friend of mine had a stock LQ4 in his Z28 and with a full exhaust and turbo cam it ran pretty damn good n/a

My 9:1 383 was somewhere between 375 and 400w....so yes better than a stock ls1. That was when the turbo was off the car for awhile.

Not if it's tuned for it. I did alot of reading before I had my motor built and you typically want to break in the engine how it's going to live....i.e. if it's going to be boosted then break it in that way, but if that's not an option, then yes it will run ok NA.
