No sir. I've driven 6x cruisers with that had 2F's, smogged and desmogged, a 3FE and a 1HZ-T. After driving the 1HZ-T, yes I now consider the 2F slow. Before that, I thought it was average.
Upgrades for a 2f engine.

Got to love those moments, but they are all the sweeter when your leaving the 350 behind with a 2F.
Something that takes some getting used to. Turbo's make boost based on load (exhaust heat), not solely on engine speed. Wind up a turbo engine while cruising down a flat stretch of hwy and look at how little boost it makes compared to when you're hard on it, lugged down, pulling a grade.
want the turbo to work in low range then pick a higher gear, higher gear = load.
Mace, got a link to your build?
i have read Matt's build and although it is a nice proffesional build it is WAY out of my budget and i just want more power for towing the float up hills. this is a highway/work cruiser, not a playtoy or race car.
i admire all the work you have done Matt, congrats.

And I, the owner of the 350 Cruiser, would love every second of it for it's insane uniqueness! But I'm not holding my breath
I would love to drive Mace's rig just to see what that's like. Then I could turbo the 350....

It wouldn't tolerate it, the CR is too high. I have a friend who is toying with the turbo idea however.
yeppers..
Just an example,
Trollhole redid his 2F with all sorts of TBI and blinging stuff. Afterwards he went for a Dyno run. 100 RWHP.
I took a tired, old 2F and added a turbo. 145 RWHP with 40" tires and a poorly adjusted propane carb.

Damn. I want a turbo.

If I had multiple LC's I would love to have a fully de-smogged I-6...I mean nothing but the carb and a distributor w/pwr steering and A/C...throw all the emissions crap out. Since I can only have one toy for now...it has a GM V-8.
