   I'm still working out many of the details, but the current plan is twin
Garrett T3/T4 hybrids, intercooled (still looking for an intercooler
source). Had an interesting chat with the Turbonetics people earlier in
the year and went over some compressor maps with 'em. This setup should
provide excellent throttle response with little lag, and around 600hp on a
360 with 5-8psi. If your engine can handle it, the turbo setup itself will
be good up into the 1,000hp range. On a 318, the gains will obviously be a
bit less, and I'm not going to go crazy with a first attempt, but its nice
that the system will have so much room for growth. :-)
