[V8] Turbo's For Sale!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I'd go with dual turbos or single supercharger -- but with fuel  
prices going ^^^ -- probably the twin turbos.  You're looking at  
stacking headgaskets to lower compression and limiting the boost on  
the turbos to 10 psi or so (possibly more), plus engine/fuel  
management with 034 EFI or similar (suggest 034EFI - no need to  
reinvent the wheel).

The big question comes down to not only what you want but how much  
you're willing to pay.  Can you do any fabrication or you want  
someone to do it for you? Aren't your V8s automatics?  I don't think  
I'd even consider doing those kind of mods without having a manual  
trans. For a twin turbo complete setup I'd figure $5k-$10k to do it  
right.

Just my $0.02
