This is no joke Joe!!!I have the parts to do the job, I've been to the
STCA site and checked out the speed groups, not gonna make it this year
though. I have Motion Soft's Dyno 2000 and at a modest boost of 20psi
a "stock" 455 Buick makes 669hp and 699 flbs flywheel torque at 5000rpm
with 20 max boost at 8.1 comp' and 70% efficiency turbos and at 3500rpm
torque it's a whopping 936(Flywheel grunt).......Thats a STOCK smog
valved engine. Not called 'Scrap-Iron Racin' fer nothin'. Any way
that's my type of fun.Besides I want to mess with the preconceived idea
that expensive toys are the only way...........
