FishWick 21 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 276 will open the top end up quite a lot, so I'd fit some heavy duty valve springs personally.Depending on the overlap, the 276 might work OK work with a turbo, but not a supercharger. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Cheers mate! Yeah it's a lot of work and expensive to make reliable! Plenty of guys have wrecked gearboxes and clutches getting greedy with the boost. Keep it sensible and it will put in a lot of reliable miles mate :-)I had a Super 4 or 5 years ago and I'd still take the turbo to be honest, despite the extra work! Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 264/263 are the most common for charged , not sure on turbo Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 You can use anything within reason on a turbo because of the immense back pressure of the turbine wheel, but excessive overlap with Supers can see the boost going straight down the exhaust pipe, LOL!
