This winter, I was planning on installing twin turbo... but the inline is sitting in the corner of the garage, just calling my name! I love the inline! And adding the turbo increased the love! Should I add the twins to the boring V8? Should I swap to the 250 w turbo? Ultimate goal is a reliable driver that has some serious git up! Honest thoughts?

It IS nice to have options!! Decisions! Decisions!! Never use a minor caliber bullet on a major caliber adversary

I’m making mounts for it tomorrow. Engine will be at the builders next month. Head is finished. Having some trouble finding a 292 exhaust manifold ☹️ But, that’s not priority just now. I’m stoked for this!
