Once you go turbo you never go back so it sounds like you already know the inevitable is coming.

Yea the problem is I have a high compression 408 and a big loose stall. Neither good for a turbo lol...
My old built turbo car that's in my sig I sold a few years ago is back up for sale though for 15k. Forged 5.7, huron speed v1 turbo kit, rpm lvl 6 trans, and strange S60 rearend.
So completely built and I'm thinking about selling mine for it, but a bit torn because I know this 408 is a 10 sec n/a car and with the right fuel setup should do high 9's on a bigger shot.
Trying to decide if I should keep mine or get my old turbo car back! Very hard decision lol.

I had the same problem so now I have 2 turbo fbodies. One a t56 and this one which will be an 8 second Street car next year. So far I've ran 9.37 @ 146 on only 15-16 psi and this turbo will support over 25 psi.

Well I can't have 2 f-body's lol. Gotta decide which one I want. The turbo is completely built. and the 408 still needs a rear to be completely built.
