Build a 406 over a 350 or 383 you'll get more HP and Torque,theres no replacement for displacement.
Turbo or Supercharger?

What about the new "twin scrolling" (i think that's it) turbo's they are making now?
I'm not the most technical guy so don't kill me too much. I don't know if they are making them any larger, but there is a guy in PA that has a 2008 Mini Cooper S that is running real good times with his little pocket rocket. I think his best pass was in the mid 10's and the car looks stock. I wish I could find his site now but if I find it I will post it up.
The thing is, he has a little single turbo that pushes close to 14 lbs of boost at 1600 RPM!!! Now that is crazy!!! It must be one heck of a stop light warrior. His max boost is only 22 and he is making more than 1/2 of his boost at 1600 RPM!!!! It would be super crazy if that could be done on a SBC or BBC for that matter. Maybe it can but I wouldn't know how
Most of you seem way above my level of knowledge so I am probably not saying anything new but I loved reading the thread anyway.

Re:
Whatever happened to this guys original question? If he ever decided to build one type (NA, NOS, turbo blower) I must have missed it.MyBU said:
if it where me, and i had teh cash then i'm going for a 800hp 383 with a BDS system with injection. i want the power and still have an engine bay to show off abit, but thats just me.
ok so I have just started thinking about turbos in a serious light. My foundation is a 355 with aluminum heads and I was thinking since I am not running a lot of compression and am only going to the track twice a year at the most, I thought that this set-up would get me introduced to the turbo world. what do you guys think?

Start with something that has some brand names instead of sending Chinese aluminum chunks through your engine.
Yeah... I'd say that kit is ok for the plumbing, but I wouldn't use he included turbos. I was reading about a turbo build (can scan it if you want it), and the waetegate wasn't opening fast enoug and overboosting the engine. They replaced it and it ran a lot better, but still didn't run up to its potential because of the cheap turbos.
