Put 20# of intercooled boost into anything any it will make power, but for how long until it greneades itself? How much boost is 750hp putting into his windsor, not that much I am sure. Turbo buicks figured out what turbos do back in the 80's, I have seen full dress T-types run 9's with the full interior, power windows, no chop work to lighten them up 3400# curb weight. Didn't engineers get something like 1200 hp out of an olds quad-4 motor ? Back when I used to drag race those little hondas and take their money, I saw several grenade their motor, more destroy their transaxle, and none could hook up on the street because they are wrong wheel drive.(standing start dragrace, not this third gear only BS) They also spend more money to upgrade their little motors, than I did on my entire big block muslecar.
