Well, I've been fond of doing a crazy build on something like a 1983 malibu, complete with brown paint and lots of rust on the body.

I'd say that 6 psi is 6 psi ...

Throw it in a Chevy Volt, with a blower sticking through the hood, tubbed out for Mickey's gummys and subframed of course! THAT would turn some HEADS! It's be more fun than a small block powered '69 Beetle, and THOSE are F U N !!!

Somebody needs to Photochop one of these up for us!

usually id agree with you, but 6psi on a 1.2L motor will give different results than 6psi on an 8.4L motor

I'm going to stand by my position that 6 psi is still 6 psi. It will return the same percentage increase, regardless of engine size. The fact that 6 psi will yield an extra ~250 hp on the big block vs ~30 hp on the other one merely proves the statement that there is no replacement for displacement.

But the rules of the game are that we are using the ZZ572/720 crate engine as a basis for this fantasy build ... and a GM car. So this little side discussion is merely academic.
