I am in the process of building a very lightweight tube chassis. The car did 9.45 @ 3625lbs. I expect to drop 900 to 1000lbs. What interests me now is the thought of putting a turbo or procharger in there. I am leaning more towards the turbo/turbos just so i can call it a Turbo Buick. I have several engines I can use for this build but they are all high compression. What would be good compression for a BBC blown through set up? 9 to 1 or less?
I have a 589/@ 10 to 1....can anything be done with this without new pistons & cam? I want to keep it simple and safe. The car will already be mid 8's so boost wont have to work too hard, just help out a little. I don't understand turbo applications all that well. I do have my 11.50 street car...but GM built that. I need advice.......What would you guys do?
