How much power do you think a hemi truck engine could handle before blowing up?
Just wondering if it would make for a good twin turbo engine.

IMO, stock that is not a good combo. top ring way to high on the piston. others have more experience, but i plan on running 8-10 psi until it blows on the same engine with a stock bottom end.
