Hi everyone, last night I was looking up 1968 396 310 HP, saw a sample of a book, may be a book on Chevy truck history.

Anyways it mentions the debut of the 396 in 1968 trucks and says it had 9.0-1 compression ratio, with 4 barrel carb, cool.

I wonder if it could handle mild boost from a turbo, or set of turbos?

The pro flow 4 supports boost with upgraded sensors.

No plans right now, but down the road it's an idea to step up to 454 or 496 power out of the 396.
