[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 12687911, member: 68944"] They're much better boost platforms. No question. Ohv small block Chevys are great for swapping into tiny cars, building up 4-600hp na with usable torque, or running a good nitrous system on. They do well with sc's too but sc's have their own drawbacks in general vs turbos IMO for 800-1200hp. Turbo ls mills need a well designed head/valve/spring/lifter/cam/turbo/intakecombo to run well, it's no surprise that gm didnt like the turbo configurations attempted on ls9 prototypes. they went sc. Go figure. They make great Ecotech's, why not just put a turbo on the ls line since its such a simple design? Oh because turbo boost and ohv doesn't just fall into place easy like 4v and turbo. Ohv= great na/nitrous, good sc, tricky to turbo. 4v= robust boost mills, great sc'd (smaller displacement but more power gained per psi. Vs ohv), and undisputed turbo charmers. Aerotive is making 2200whp on a 323ci modular. Nutty The 150#'s of weight buys you turbo/boost friendly heads. I love sbc's for classics, easy swaps into tiny cars, big punch/light weigh etc, but building one for boost is much trickier. Can 4 digit turbo ls's be built and last? Oh ya, will it happen near as often as a cammer motor doing so with mild cams and honest drivability? No, no way. [/QUOTE]
