      i think im gonna just stick with a 400ci bore it .040 over. Run approx 10psi. For the exhaust manifolds i might end up using the early 70's stock cast iron. it doesnt flow as well but it will be easier to route the pipes as opposed to running long tube headers. if you got a suggestion for this problem it would be greatly appreciated. If i use the 400ci (which i will) I can get 455 heads with 114cc that will run about approx 7.3:1 cr with flattop pistons, that way i can hit the boost to like 10lbs and still run pump gas. any suggestion on whose FMIC to use? I can wait till this cars done its gonna be wicked. Its gonna be mainly street use with a little track time. I'd like to street course race it eventually but not like every weekend. I'm just looking to build a pro touring style crusier. thanx again for the info.

      I have a little knowledge on turbo buicks and alot of turbo specs and info If I can, i'll try to answer any qwestions you may have. but I can tell you this! on a turbo car you DO NOT need a large cam cause most of your power is coming from the turbo and also the right stall converter for the turbo you will be useing. then have enough fuel to supply the boost level. and a Percision FMIC to cool the inlet air, and a large exhaust to get rid of the air that the turbo generates. please contact me for any qwestions you may have. scot w.
