Default 82 crossfire engine question (continued)

THanks for all the feedback on my previous question.. Clutchdust, you told me exactly what i wanted to hear! My target for the engine would be around 350 hp naturally asperated, which leeds to my next question... can the l-83 be supercharged or turbocharged safely? My target HP for this car was 450 500 hp supercharged...originally i was thinking this would have been impossible for the l-83 and was looking for an alternate power plant ( 454 ), but after reading your posts and looking in the jeggs catalog, i gestimate that i could have this car in the high 300 hp range naturally asperated for under 3 grand ( assuming i do all the work) thats all i need for now, the superchrger/turbo mod will be a project for mid 2005...I wold like any recomendations you would have for me..pistons, headers,cams you name it..thanks again for all the help! :cheers:

Where to begin???

You are so far from the 400 HP level that it is hard to explain.

Go to the Crossfire Injection Forum and let my "friends" help you to your goal.
