I also had a friend with one of those turbo turds. He was really proud of the "performance" of the thing....seems that he had never had a decent performing car before so, when compared to his previous Toyota, it felt fast. I took him for a ride in an 82 Z/28 (which was a pig in its own right) and he dumped the 301. Unless you are building one to sell/screw someone else, why not put the effort into something with more potential? Many people have tried to make a pig fly, so there is prior history with wringing performance out of this motor.
