And I don't mean those remote turbo's, I mean a good custom setup under the hood.

Re: What's the best Chevy Engine to Turbo?

No real one answer to this question, but I would love to turbo the 302. Use two very small VATN turbos to get huge low end boost and a really wide LSA cam to make the idle sound like an inline 6. Just rip the pants off your opponent

I also always wanted to turbo an LT1. No real reason, just a good solid base with an easy-to-hack EFI computer.

Re: What's the best Chevy Engine to Turbo?

I got the inspiration from DroopZ's car. I love how the 350 sounds with the garrett turbo.

What would be more badass, an LS6 TT or an LT5 TT?

Re: What's the best Chevy Engine to Turbo?

Id go with a basic 350, Those engines can go through anything and still drive like new. Plus i think it would be the most reliable out of them all.
