I have a 68 camaro I'm building a turbo charged engine for.
Why aren't there more chevy that jump on the outlaw street banwagon? The only guy's kicking the turbo engines for the most part is the 5.0L boys. YOu can't tell me Ford engines run better than chevy under boost. WHat the deal???????

 

They ban chevy motors from this because they would make too much power

 

You really NEED to get a video camera and make a incar video of your beast on the street. Seriously

 

Turbos aren't the easiest thing in the world to set up. The Ford guys generally have alot more options when it comes to turbo setups.

 

The fox bodies have a good amount of more room under the hood. The set up u did Sleeperz28 had to be a challenge, think about if we the room they do?

 

They really dont have that much room. Most of those turbo Fox bodies you see with "tons of room" have at least AC delete, and probably a manual rack too. If you do the same on a fbody, you have TONS of room to easily mount 2 t66+ turbos (see Harlans car for an example).

It wasnt hard to mount my T88(big *****) while keeping AC/PS/ABS/Cruise etc.

 

Now you just have to figure out where to mount one in a Vette.

 

the small block chevy is a more ideal engine. 4 bolt main for has 2 bolt. second to none oiling system 5 bolts per cylinder compared to ford's 4. The weird thing is most guys w/chevy turbosystems aren't putting out as much power as there ford counterparts.
I'm seeing 347 fords turbo charged putting 1200 to the rwp.
while 383 chevys turboed putting out maybe 700rwp.
Let me know what you guys think.

 

Accually all the Fords running in outlaw street run aftermarket 4 bolt main blocks that also have improved oiling passages. there basicly the same as a nascar winston cup block but wet sump.

Another reason there are a lot of fast turbo stangs out there is that there are a lot of sanctioning bodies that have classes for them and they pay good money. They can compete in the NMRA,FFW,NMCA,NSCRA and so on.
The winner of the Mobile one Ford challenge in the Pro 5.0 class wins $35k!! Plus contingincy money.
One of the fastest 'stangs out there is driven buy a ex- gm guy (Chuck Samual)who switched to racing a 'stang because of all the money that can be won racing at the Ford Shootouts.
I've personaly seen him run 6.4@220mph and his sigle turbo small block has been rumored to make 2200+ hp.

 

Things would be different if you actually saw GM recognize the racers. When was the last time you saw a Fun GM Weekend or World Chevy Challenge?

Also, Jordon's right...you'd be amazed at how big of twins you can fit in our engine bays when all the rubbish is out of the way. In my car, there's enuff room between the water pump and core support, that I can stand in the engine bay. Going fast is all about sacrifices.

 

I'd really really like to see an in car video of your car at WOT. I saw a post of yours the other day talking about spinning from 80-130...damn.

 

I wish i had that problem.......
