    on a turbo set up would the l36/l26 be better than the l67/l32?
    im wanting to make an overall fast and powerful turbo grand prix
    but not sacrifice too much reliability.
    i read the thread about top swaps already so i know the power advantage
    but which lasts longer under boost?

    a higher compression block will have better out of boost driveability while the low compression block will take the boost better. because of turbos love of running high boost levels, usually a turbo setup is best on a low compression block. high compression is best left with an m90 build since you dont normally run anything more than about 12 pounds of boost.
