What kind of compression are you going to build the motor to N/A? What Kind of racing are you going to be doing? What kind of powerband do you want? On a carburated car i would not suggest turbocharging. _____________________________ 85' Project Car in need of a new motor Daily Grind lightly modded 2k maxi-pad (in reply to nickdotcom) Post #: 3

The problem with supercharging a carbureted/throttle-bodied engine is that you have to get the air-charge UNDER the fuel-source, since it's nearly impossible to seal it to the top of it! Better decide what all you intend to change (like, I'd dump the 'lazy' 307- quick!) before you start trying to decide on a forced-induction method!  John _____________________________ Two '94 LT1 Z's: one convertible, one super-charged coupe (in reply to VQMaxFan) Post #: 4

Also, my uncle has been building motors for years an has built 3 turboed carb motors, I would get his help in that situation. (in reply to z28 john) Post #: 5
