Twin Turbo for 383?
Anyone make a system suitable for a 383...banks and BBM or whatever the name is make turbos that are setup for 350 cu in sbcs but what if you have a 383???
I definately want to TT my car eventually and i cant decide whether itd be smarter to buy a pro built 350 and not have problems finding a good turbo kit or go with a 383 and get more power out of the engine setup and maybe stuggle to find a good turbo set up

according to BBM designs or whatever the name is... a 383 will suck the turbos dry and they wont be able to perform properly on a 383 bc there is too many cu inches of motor and the only way to fix this is to bore out the turbo and drop in a bigger turbine or get bigger turbos

If you look at the compressor map you can see how much boost and air-flow the turbo can handle.
What you need all depends on how much power you want and how the engine is built and how much you want to rev it.
There is no such thing as a turbo for a 350 or a turbo for a 383.
From a 'turbo' point of view a 350 at 6000 rpm is the same as a 383 at 5500 rpm if both are built about the same.
Look at some of the imports... You can put a huge turbo on tiny engines and make crazy power on the dyno.
