All your dream takes is money. What kind of possibilities are you wondering about? See http://www.bankspower.com and at least a few of your questions will be answered. For good general reading go to your nearby bookstore and buy/order a copy of Corky Bell's book "Maximum Boost" - which will answer your more tecnical questions.

Your Chevelle's engine compartment will easily swallow up a twin turbo - even keep it under a flat hood if you like.

For safety's sake do not forget chassis, suspension, and braking system upgrades.

Strange you should ask this because today I saw a twin turbo 350 in an early Nova. The carb hat said Banks so I assume it is a Banks setup. The guy is planning on putting an intercooler. Nice clean installation. The car is at a trans shop in Pomona. It runs at Irwindale, mostly on Thursday night TnT. It might be running at the Sunday event at Irwindale. I can post the phone number of the shop and he should be able to get you in contact with the owner, if you are interested.

I went to visit Nelson & was not horribly impressed with his stuff. He is the guy that build the motor for Steilows Malibu & I apparently there were issues with delivery time. We did not buy one of his motors.

ya, it would really help a lot, if i could get a number or two of places where i can get a twin turbo set up, because i was thinking about buying a 502, but that slike 10000, and i'd rather spend less, and possibly have better horsepower and MPG, with all the chassi upgrades and all that, how much you think it will cost, and all that i would need, so i can start getting some of the parts soon... thanks for the help guys

Bill (88502), I thought I answered your question but I must have clicked out and not posted it. Too late now, sorry but a church group out of Pasadena sponsored the event. It was open to the public, both racers and spectators.
