I don't think chevy has ever put a factory turbo on a 350. You might be thinking of a transmission called a Turbo 350. To up the horses on your engine you can do any number of things, all depends on what you want to spend on it. Exhaust headers are a good move and aren't too expensive.

There is a factory Turbo 301 that GM put in 81 Trans Am's, and they are cool. Unfortunately, they never thought of an intercooler for that hot air.... As for a Turbo 350 engine, nope, just the tranny, a TH-350, which means Turbo Hydramatic -> a nonsensical word GM used to make their trannies name sound cool.

You are right about the turbo fire and turbo thrift designations. The higher power ones were called "turbo jet" too.

The Boodlefoof name is a long story that began when I was about 2. Somehow it has stuck with me all these years. Hey, I am not afraid, I played D&D once or twice and my college roommate is addicted to some game called Diablo.
