supercharger or turbo ?

[Irish's_79_Step]

not to jack the thread just was curious if it was possible to run both? a turbo and charger. Heard of a mustang runnin one and when run on dyno it couldnt give a reading cuase it kept spinning.

Here is the thing, you save up a nice little bit of money and rebuild your motor so it's making XXX hp. Then the clutch/transmission goes, more money for that. Play around to much doing one legged burnouts there goes the rear end. There is ALOT more to think about and save up for than just hopping the motor up.

Do a diesel swap you'll get a turbo and more torque then you'll ever need.

And if you have a mule buy a through breed to race, (crate motor that is engineered to run a blower or hair drier.

Hahahaha i believed that, until my 350, race cam, pumped 330hp chevelle (/w/ stock heads... yea i know) lost his @SSSSSS to a prelude /w/ nothing but a throttle body spacer...

I know its a little off subject, but check this out;

lots of power, pump gas, and can be done for a reasonable budget

yup, Helion now makes a twin turbo kit for the GT500 Mustang. One turbo in mounted on each bank (way back in the rear of the car) and still uses the factory Eaton twin screw blower
