    Default American Muscle!

    I got 5 trucks. One truck I want to tubocharge, has a 454 CI GM motor. I have the turbocharger kit, just have to build a low compression ratio motor. It would only run on high octane fuel or E85. It should make 450 HP without too much effort or expense. My latest acquisition is 1995 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton with a 350 ci small block, it needs a differential rebuild. It was Kansas county maintenance truck. The beauty of the old GM trucks is the availability of aftermarket high power addons. Or just drop in a LSX engine.

    A turbo and E85 will get you a lot more than 450 depending on the cam.

    450 at the flywheel is pretty easy with a roller cam, decent intake and exhaust, depending on where in the powerband you are looking to make the power.

    An engine that makes 500 lb.ft of torque at 3000 rpm will have less horsepower than one that makes it at 8000 rpm.
