turbo 540 BBC

(more to come)

at 800 hp plus youll want to use a DART BLOCK

ID suggest a 540 displacement, because you want thick cylinder walls and fairly wide sealing area between cylinders for the head gaskets, and with a turbo more displacements not necessary or useful
two of these turbos

Oh, I'm drooling on this one! I've been sort of bitten by the turbo bug ever since the guy at HybridZ turbo'd his LS1.

Not to mention that those are nice prices on those Dart blocks. $300-$500 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen so far recently.

But why those particular turbos instead of say..a Holset HY35 for instance, that is rated for more hp and a higher psi?

mostly because IM working with a guy on his combo and thats what he already has for the build-up
