Oh....Well I wouldn't want to put something that new in this car right now. Maybe if the 292 were to ever blow up on me then I would go a different route.

After talking to twisted6 last night, I believe I am leaning toward keeping the engine naturally aspirated. There are too many things to change and a lot more money involved with the turbo plus I don't think I want to run an intercooler and all the additional piping and I pretty much have to in order to drive it here in Texas because of the heat. Also, my engine was not bored with a torque plate and that seems pretty important for a turbo application.

With custom forged pistons with a higher compression height, that should give me around 9:1 ratio or higher and the pistons have a small dish that will clear the valves I believe but I'll talk to the manufacturer to figure that out.

I'm going to send my damper to damper dudes and have them rebuild it. Very professional service over the phone and he said he would do an additional service in order to make sure I don't have any problems in the future since I am bumping up the power from stock.
