Creates? If you’re pumping about 375bhp worth of air into a stock LG4 I would expect to see >25psig boost… if you have some way to control detonation at that level, go for it.

First of all, the LG4's low compression makes it a great engine to push boost into. However, dont plan to push a bunch of boost in a stock LG4 with a decent ammount of miles on it. Sure it would probably work for a while, but something would be bound to break eventually. Second of all, the camshaft in the LG4 is really weak. If you plan on going with a turbo, you should definately look into a new valvatrain so your engine will breathe better with the boost. And finally, you should do some researching on turbochargers..... there isnt just a "375hp" turbocharger. Sure there are going to be turbochargers good up to 375 hp, but if your going to be turbocharging a V8 with exhaust, valvetrain mods, and a good carb / injectors, your going to be pushing more than that.....

Obviously someone missed the Fast and the Furious craze. He's just quoting a line from TF&TF. Brian wants NOS.

"No, you know what? Make it two of 'em." Typical *****.
I loved the Charger in that movie and the Camaro in the next. The imports can go, but the muscle cars should always stay!
