Turbo, start by doing a search. You'll find PLENTY of examples of single and twin turbo setups in 305's, 350's, 383's and I think a few bigger engines. After you see something that resembles what you might want to look at maybe PM that user and ask some more detailed questions. Sorry I can't give you more than that...I run a supercharger.

1) Determine Budget
2) Determine Time
3) Determine Tools
4) Determine HP Goal
5) Determine Parts Needed
6) Build it

When I build a turbo setup that is how I go about it and it works every time.

If you are looking for the most HP per $ then you want nitrous if you won't use the HP that often. Otherwise, you want a supercharger or turbocharger.

junk, well put. If you want HP sometimes buy a bottle, if you want it whenever you want it then invest in forced induction.
