A friend of mine has plans to turbo a BBB too. I'd be very interested in some pics if someone has done it before.

I would like to see what could be done with a Tomahawk Block.
Does anyone know when they will be out?

I thought I saw one in GS-Xtra years ago.
Someone here should have a better memory than I.
My magazines are all in storage or I would get the article for you.

I've seen a twin turbo GS at the nats before. I think it was more for show than go because it wasn't fast.
