    Hey guys decided to bump her up some more and throw on a power adder . I prefer a turbo over a supercharger for how much power it makes but a supercharger is more reliable but costs more than a turbo. As most know im running a 302 bored 40 over (308) with a 280//480 custom ground camshaft , flat top pistons , gt40p heads with upgraded 600 lift springs and 1.6 rockers , weiand excelerator intake , trans controller on 4r70w auto , msd ignition . What route would be the best for me to go ? Any opinions are welcome and if you have a product in mind for my setup post a link if you can ! This is something i have been looking at http://www.ebay.com/itm/1979-1993-F...Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f23f6bfe9&vxp=mtr

    but im not sure if the headers will work on the P Heads or not or if ill have clearance issues . thanks

    You'll need to set your carb up for blow thru ... Other then that there is no reason why you couldn't make a on3 performance kit work with some modifications

    Was going to say something similar.

    It's going to take a bit more effort to dial in an turbo with a carb setup, but its been done plenty of times before. Pay close attention to your fuel and timing, it's extremely important to listen for detonation.

    I'd run an old school BDS 6-71. That would be badass.

    Thank you for the encouraging post. Do you think I will have any major clearance issues ? Also would the headers work on the gt40p heads im running now. Also does this on3 kit have a good rep im fairly new to the world of turbos .

    I agree that would be bad the downside to it is that it will cost more than a turbo setup and also require a new hood for sure and may not make as much power as the turbo. but thanks for your opinions they are appreciated kind sir !

    It for sure wouldn't make the power that a turbo kit would. nothing beats the visual impact of an old school blower sticking up out of the hood though, and you're already running a carb.

    Aha what you trying to say I ain't legit ? Naw lol I got pulled over for a bunch of stuff once in the green stang and the judge here is really strict and I had green headlights hid and they are apparently illegal and he asked me who I thought I was the green hornet ! Lol everyone there erupted in laughter including me lol then he asked how my car insurance was so low and said he was thinking about switching to farm bureau cause of my price lol all of this discussion in front of the whole court room , then he looks at me and says congratulations son you just saved your license . I was like heck yeah where's the door ha . Good times . I am the one and the only green hornet :)
