Project Pro-Fueling instead of Pro-Touring...

i dig the idea, if it was done right it would be more daily driver friendly on the wallet..... but just make sure you figure out a way to make it sound kewl. no loud fart can exhausts

Gas isn't THAT expensive that I would give up the V8... as mentioned, with a LT1 or LS1 and a 6-speed, upper 20s to 30mpg is easily achieved.

If I had to choose a non V8, I'd go with a 3.8 or 4.3 GM V6 and add a turbo or 2.

I also like the idea as far as fuel efficiency is concerned, but I totally agree with race-rodz,just please don't make it sound like; see above quote...

I'm building a twin turbo aluminum v6 (weighs about 225lbs) hoping to get in the 20's with big stuff 3

Block - 61lbs
Heads - 31lbs
Crank - 49lbs
Intake - 7lbs

total so far 148lbs

should be well under 300lbs with the turbo's and Serp set up

A 4 cyl in a muscle car is so on the edge of not being a muscle car. But I guess if nobody dared to be different, we would all drive factory cars and convince each other who has the better wax job.

That brings up an interesting thought... what's better - a 2JZ motor in a Nova or a bad ass BBC stuffed into a Supra?

Strangely, I had a dream last week about putting a big, sequentially turbo'd straight-6 in my car in lieu of the V8. I woke up sweating, but it got me scratching my head about the possibility of this sort of thing catching on in the future.

I think TA Performance is making a alu. Buick 3.8 v6 built for a turbo. To add more choices to the mix.
