I was wondering if it is possible to put out 300+HP by modifying the engine, and is it also possible to put a NOS kit or turbocharger in a Series II engine?

You're not too far from www.intense-racing.com

If you have the budget, you'll be there. If you don't build your trans in advance, save some in the budget for later.

Yes, Intense racing has alot of what I need. But, is there a specific kind of turbocharger for L67 engines?

Do you think it would be alot better just to go with the Nitrious kit then the turbocharger because I don't want to eliminate the supercharger.

We aren't very big on putting nitrous on a motor around here, or a turbo instead of a SC. GM gave us SC'* and we kinda like them.

That'* not to say that you can't make more power or have more fun other ways. It'* simply a little more risky from a club perspective.

Nitrous over Turbo? No way. Nitrous over SC? Depends on what you want. Both have their advantages.

Why not go Turbo/SC? Dual boost has been done before. Starting way back in the 50'* as I recall. And it'* been done to a 3800 as well.

A smaller pulley, exhaust work, cold air intake, PCM, and rockers and you're over 300hp (crank).
