I worked with a guy that built a turbo V6 Buick Skyhawk, before there ever was a "Grand National"

It’s not the hp, it’s the torque.  How many times have you heard that?  Good gosh almighty can that turbo 6 ever make some twist.  Hope you got frame connectors

Yeah the torque on buick v6 come in at around 2000rpm. For comparison early 455 or cadillac 472 and 500 had the torque come in around 3000rpm.
