Added a few more pics to the Turbo Project gallery. About 2 more weeks and it will be on the road. The motor has around 350hp alone. So adding the turbo (5-7psi)and having a 150 shot of nitrous should give it....well....I have no idea....anyone have guess? All I know is there is a very high possibility of getting this truck into the low 12's.

Any and all feed back is appreciated...

Looks great - there is some nice pipe work there!!!

 

Thanks BigF350....

 

I'm going to guess between 500 and 650 horsepower, and more torque, depending on head flow, cam, and compression ratio. I think either the turbo or the nitrous would be ok alone, but those regular 390 blocks have a nasty habit of coming apart around 700ft-lbs. It takes quite a few passes for the parts to fatigue enough, but it does eventually happen. You would have been much better off with a 360 truck block.

It does look good though!

 

I'm only using a 50 shot on the NOS now.
