2 turbos on a sbc is kinda pointless unless you have 20g's to dump into it. speeking of twin turbos... i was in a speed shop around the seattle wa area and saw a drag bike. it was one hell of a bike. i looked at it for a seccond and saw that powering this thing was a sideways mopar big block hemi, twin turbo'd, and about a 20 lb nos bottle was bolted behind the seat. The rear tire was a 2 foot wide drag slick. one of the guys said the owner of the bike took it down the track once. and then it was retired... one hell of a motorcycle.

it has been done several times and i plan to do it myself i am in the process right now but i am a poor working man and have a wife and two kids so it is just taking a long time.

the first referane that comes to my mind is the new chp magaziner they have a dodge viper with a twin turbo 350 in it and it was doing like 220 adn they couldn't keep the hood on.

sorry it is not in chp it is in gm hich tech adn the article starts on page 42 and they talk about the viper on page 44 in the lower right hand corner.

it doesn't say 350 it says

Ron Adee's twin turbo, chevy v-8 powered '94 Viper provided plenty of dramaat the 1-mile finish line.  See the driver-side front hood starting to ripple?  Thats never a good signat 215 mph.  Sure enough it exploded off the car right at the checkered flag.  ron somehow kept it straight and ended up all in one piece (well...two) and with second place honors.

it has been done and it works.  this is not the only tiem i have heard of it although it is the only time i have heard of it in a viper.

that is noice but i doubt that engine has ever even seen 3000 rpm's on the road or strip.  the only time that motor has ever been out of idle was probably on the dyno.   that i strictly a show car trailor queen.  not my style.

i seen a video of a grand national with a twin turbo sbc, i thought it was the 3.8, but the commets say its a sbc not sure on ci. i think his name was chris chow, it was on streetfire.net or on youtube. it shows him do a dyno pull and he achieves well over a thousand hp.

i might be wrong, but it wouldnt be too hard to do, only problem is the prices these days.

A thousand horsepower isn't that difficult to do?

I'm hate to be cynical, but I'm sure this is coming from someone that hasn't seen half of that amount before...

It's not easy.

I am in the U.S.Army and I am getting ready to drop a crate 383 Stroker motor into my 87 El Camino SS from Summit Racing here in Akron,OH. Before I hook up everything I intend to modify it and install a twin turbo setup onto it.It will be an SBC kit for the older camaro's,firebird's,etc. It works on V8's from the 305 to the 400. You can twin turbo any V8 you want to,just as long as you intend to spend extra money,time,and effort on that motor to set it up for the turbo's. You also have to find some custom headers or fabricate headers for the turbo setup. Look around the net and EBay. You can find anything you want. The thing is,I'm only 24 years old and I know this much. Don't let the old car buff's scare you away from this twin turbo hoop-la. The decision for YOUR motor is solely up to you and you alone.

wow, just the engine swap alone is a major add on, twin turbo a stroker, man i would love to hear it spool up... custom fitting the headers shouldnt be too bad being that each turbo would recieve its own down pipe, rather than trying to connect the left side to the right under the frame, or pan.

is it fuel injected or carbed??

you should call it the El Ca"mean"o
