Okay, please don't start sending your arrows my way, but a couple of quesitons. Aren't turbo's really most benifficial on a motor that likes to run a lot of rpm's? Is a 400 sbc, really a good rpm motor? I always though of them as a bettter torque motor. (long stroke). That's why many people will use a 400 crank in a 350 block to create a 383. Some benefits from either 'engine' without some of the negatives. IDK, but seems as though the two don't really mix well. Again, I'm sure there's a million opinions about this so be nice. Just asking :-)
