Swaps are costly, if i were to go turbo i would have to get a new motor. Goal would be 850 rwhp, could probably do it with 12lbs of boost. Cpr kit is what $7000 mmr 1000 hp short block with billet oil pump gears $4000, boss heads $2000 cams $1000. some of us don't have time or knowledge to do the install themselves i.e. me...so another $3800 to pay for the install and tune! That's close to 18k assuming everything goes perfect! To rich for my blood...staying with my stock pully paxton @ 625rwhp......
It costs money to make reliable HP no matter what power adder. You don't need a built engine for a turbo. But don't waste your money on head or cams w a turbo for "only" 850rwhp. We made 815rwhp on 10psi, stock heads and cams. Think about that stuff when well over 1000rwhp ;) Most guys already have more fuel then they need. Just change the shortblock and have at it.
