"350 TPI modified with twin turbos (Garrett GT25's), dyno'd at 295 HP, 440 ft-lbs Torque at wheels"
I would have thought a twin turbo'ed 350 would have more than 295 HP at the wheels.
Is this a typo?

I thought it was cool and all and I can appreciate the engineering behind it, but it seems like a waste of money! However, if money isn't issue then do whatever you want.........

As I recall the early Callaway twin turbo vetts had pretty low hp but real high torque. I don't know why but maybe the turbo technology was not advanced enough in the 80's or maybe if the blocks were stock they could not support a lot of rpm to get big hp.
