A turbo on a V8??

Can it be done?? Would it be Worth it??

Just wondering, been thinking about these damn ricers and there wonder turbos!

Also what would have to be changed on a small block V8 to make this work?

Of course it can be done. I dunno if you have ever heard of the Turbo Trans Am, but it had a turbo in it.

I had a link to a 377 Twin Turbo thirdgen at one point... I'll be damned if I can find it now...

That thing was a beast... 1000+HP and TQ....

Yes, very worth it... yet very costly.

Don't have to shut-up, the 2nd gen was a Trans Am Turbo, not a Turbo Trans Am.
