Turbo for a FFPW

Posted by J-Gilly on Saturday, March 01, 2008 at 10:48:11 :

This question MUST have come up sometime in the past, but if it did, I missed it. Has anyone tried to put a small turbo on their flathead 6? I am thinking that it could dramatically increase the output on my 230. Turbos are ideal in lower-compression motors. And they tend to compensate for breathing problems. A cam change would probably be necessary, but 200 hp and 360 lbs./ft. would be achievable (vs 95 hp and 200 lbs./ft.) Any thoughts? Thanks! -Jon in Niantic, CT.
