If you do find a turbo or supercharger ensure that you purchase a mechanical fuel pump that has a vaccum/boost port. This will ensure that the fuel flow will increase to the carb as boost increases.
As for the amount of boost, I know a stock SVO Mustang can achieve 18lbs. A drawback to a turbo is turbolag, since it runs off of the engines exhuast gases it needs the pressure developed around 2000 RPMs before it really kicks in. The bueaty of it is your engine acts like a 289 below this rpm but above 2000rpm it will think it is a 390. I've also read in "1001 high performance tech tips" a stock 289 can handle up to 600hp without internal modifications, of course this is assuming the engine was rebuilt right and with OEM or better quality parts |
