Thread: what is better

I have a 68 camaro and im picking out a motor for it. 1 is a big block blower or 2 a small block twin turbo.

Any feed back would be helpful. Thanks

i have a small block with a blower, i would trade for a twin turbo sb any day

Personally i am not a huge fan of turbos, so i would probably go for the big block with the blower. Dont have to worry about a blower overheating!

How about a big block with a blower AND twin turbos?

Seriously, If i could add my own option, I'd say Big block with nitrous. With nitrous you don't have to have that power there all the time. You can have it right when you NEED it. JMO

But out of the options that you listed, I'd go for the big block and blower...

Thanks I already have a 454 big block and I have called banks power about a twin turbo for it. They told me that they dont make a twin turbo kit for big blocks yet. So I guess I will just have to go with a blower.

If you have any more info I would appreciate it thanks.

WHOA..Hold it !!!! You talked to Banks and they don't make a twin turbo setup for a BB Chevy?? Well, if they don't, it just means they have a single turbo setup that will put a dual turbo setup to shame. Those guys are swamis/what-ams of the turbo world. Call 'em back and talk to 'em nicely and ask 'em what you should do.

Should take a look at the Procharger system with an intercooler..... Neat system, great power. Saw a dnyo sheet from a 4.6 twin cam Ford with a Procharger and intercooler, over 500 horse at the rear wheels......
