410 stroker build?

Recently I've also been looking into STS turbo systems.. STS sells single and twin tailpipe turbo kits that are universal and very reasonalbly priced for what you get in the kits.. I could build a decent 318 or most likely a 360, and put it to some boost and get some insane numbers8)

Just wondering what you guys thought..

I think you'll find that once you start cramming the v-8 and headers into your engine bay you'll see that there is very little room left for turbo plumbing. There is also not much room anywhere underneath the car for the remote turbos. If you can hit your 500hp goal that will be more than enough to get you into trouble. You should probably think about a cage and frame connectors to stiffen up the chassis to handle that much hp. While turbo's can make great power, they also cost geometric $$$ in associated parts to handle that power. You'd have to convert to EFI to avoid massive tuning headaches and IMO its just not worth it unless you are building either an all-out competition drag car or a show queen. If you just want to have a fun driver you can take to the track, stick with your original 500hp plan.
