Cast crank, stock rod 360, set of forged pistons, $125 regrind on the factory hydraulic roller, $700 turbo fed from stock exhaust manifolds. 10.08@136mph at 3700lbs with a 3.23 gear on street tires.
Most unconventional and cheapest way to do it for sure.
How much boost are you running? What size turbo? What pistons and what is your compression? What brand cylinder head? The cam duration and lift would be great to know as well. I wouldnt be going small block but it would be interesting to find out.
I've run it as high as 23psi. That's about all the fuel system is good for... the turbo has more left, but the single needle carb and A1000 fuel pump are about at their limits. Custom Diamond pistons at 9.2:1 compression ratio. Ported Edelbrock RPM heads. Cam is 232@.050" with around .540" lift.
Its a pretty basic low RPM combo. The boost does all the work... Shift light is set to 6,000rpm.
