Howdy, I'm now a turbo and EFI convert. As such I think it would be awesome to do both to something classic iron. Which do you vote for? Twin turbo EFI W-motor (348,409) or Twin turbo EFI Nailhead (401, 425)? Lets hear reasons, I asked it in here since I know the answer I'd get out in the rest of the Buick board. Thanks,
I vote for the engine with the thickest cylinder walls, the smallest intake valves, the smallest bore and the longest stroke. 1. Thicker cylinder walls will be safer with higher boost. 2. Small intake valves aren't a problem since fuel and air will be forced past them. 3. A smaller bore lets the flame front travel across the cylinder quicker with less chance for detonation. 4. A longer stroke engine will make power in a lower rpm range. The last thing you need is a high rpm engine. Lots of boost (20+ pounds) at low rpm will safely make more power than most people will believe. I guess thet means I vote nailhead.
Nailhead,Nailhead,Nailhead!!!!!!!!! :laugh: WHY? Cause it'll be cooler than the other options :boring: Cause That's my dream (no one can give me an estimate on it though) :error: Plus what ever reason everyone else has. :Smarty: :3gears:
