    Turbo or small block...

    Trying to help my lil' bro make a decision. What do you guys think. Project car is an S10. He currently has access to a one of kind turbo kit, headers, etc. for his current 4 cyl... or he can drop in a 327 for around same amount of mod work/costs... both he will lose all accessories, drop in sound system losing extra battery, air conditioning... etc. What do you guys think?

      Oh yeah, forgot to mention its getting bagged as well... so weight is an issue.

                turbo sounds like more fun!
                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                      If it's a decent 327 it's going to make more power than the stock 4 cylinder with a turbo and it will be steady power, you won't have to wait for the turbo to kick in.

                      The 4 cylinders in S10's aren't really all that hot to begin with.

                      Might be easier to do the turbo though I guess.

                        Just checked and if it's a 2.2 they only have like 120 hp at 5000 RPM. Pretty weak motor to bother investing any money in. Go with the 327.
