Most gearheads would agree that turbos are the hot ticket for massive amounts of power. It is usually the expense (for a good system) and complexity of installation/packaging that seems to scare people off. I have also been told that they are "for imports"...until reminded what powered the grand national.

Everyone has their own idea of whats best, but If a person is after big power a turbo is worth a look, as evidenced by this truck.

https://youtu.be/8DCkwtT71E0 The turbo really is having your cake and eating it too. I've put well over 4,000 miles on the truck since May, and have not done any engine maintenance at all. I did install a fresh 4L80E with shift kit and my posi clutches did not survive the torque once at the dragstrip.

I was on 10psi at the track and ran 11.48@116 as easy as can be. I'm currently on 13psi and I'm pretty sure the tens are real close. Big difference with a 3psi increase. Truck weighed 4,064lbs with me in it on the 11.48 pass. I used to dream of rats, now its all snails.
