I actually thought about that one but a little pricey. I am still looking into the Squires turbos for the 454 thats in my car already but a lot of the forums talk trash on the squires turbos.
With a couple turbos done the right way, it would put you in the back of your seat the whole quarter mile. Like a jet.

If I had the money I would go with an LSx, since my Camaro doesn't have its original engine anyway.

I'm in the process of changing my 383 stroker to an LSX motor. I will be installing at least one turbo maybe two. I'm saying goodbye to old school and welcoming new school technology. Plus reliability of fuel injection and better mileage.

I am using a 454 out of a 72 Chevelle with some killer heads.

Im eventually going to get some Aluminum heads..probably the "World" heads but not sure what to put into it yet. My other 68 camaro ran awesome once I put some real nice heads on it.
It was the best upgrade I did on that car. Hoping this 67 camaro will have even better results.
What do you have on your heads...lifters, springs, intake and exhaust valves and brand names?
Just looking at options that other people like.
