Love'd yer comment Cuttyman,

Diesel engines don't rev, yet a 5.9 liter 12 valve cummins is easily capable of putting out 1500+ torque and 800+ HP all under 3,000 RPM. And that is with a boat anchor bottom end and heavy pistons. Yes, it has a slight cubic inch advantage.....but he only mentioned Revs. And an 8000 RPM 350 would have no stinkin chance. lol

So, someone please explain to me why a v6 wouldn't respond the same way? YES I know...this is Gas and not diesel....But:

A turbo charged 292 on 10 PSI puts out over 350 HP and 450 Torque. Different engine design, but in the Long run....quite similar.....a Truck engine.

Now, considering the 305 v6 is low compression, Adding compression would be a way to make power without the need for more revs. Not to mention you are going to be putting in lighter pistons and lightening up the crank which would easily allow for more top end!

Back to that read up of the guy who hotrodded that 478! It would toast 454's and was capable of 5500 RPM! SO, how come the 305 isn't capable of toasting a 350???

Any engine can be improved, already it's well known that a 500 cfm 2 barrel and dual exhaust is a nice improvement......so a few pounds of boost won't hurt a thing.

Cuttyman, how much boost will that supercharger put out?
