Pro-Stock are pretty much the ultimate in V8 tech, 1200hp or so from a 400ci i wouldn't be too upset

Pro Stock is a competitive class so u need to do what you need to do. though for me a 398ci twin turbo'd Pro Stock engine would be the ultimate, i have said for a while if i had the $'s that would be the engine i would do.

you cant turbo a prostock engine they have light weight rods and pistons and the valves are at there limet put psi on the valves and you would start valve bouncing and the rpm would be usless and the comp ratio is way too high for turbos this is why forced air engines are set up differnt like top alcohole

a pro-stock engine can be adapted to be made turbocharged, a couple of racers in the US have/are doing it.

are you

no i cant go there a pro stock engine/block is a common thing

what makes it a pro stock engine is the setup to turbo you need to change the setup there for making it not a prostock engine

most drag cars use a chev bb or sb orientated botom end setup and a hemi orientated top end

if you want to find out more about this prasac i can pm you my phone number and will be happy to explaine all you need to find out
