I'd just like to make an observation. Demon, the subject to your post reads "is this overkill???". Jim is answering basically by saying, it's not a matter of it being overkill, but rather it's not necessarily the least expensive way to get you where you want to be. You seem to be arguing that. I think Jim is right. Just trying to be helpful, I don't hate turbo's or anything.

I don't think I'd ever run them in a street car, just because i do believe they kick in too much too late. The whole point is, this will cost you alot of money, if not upfront then it certainly will as you go along. And I believe if you properly build anything it won't fail, but mistakes happen and GREED happens, maybe if i try a little more boost, BLAM!!

You obviously need to do what you want, but do you think you could change the subject to, I'm building a twin turbo V8, what do I need?
