A muscle car usually means a v-8 (if it doesn't you probably don't have a muscle car ;-) )which would require two turbo chargers. One for each exhaust manifold. It can and has been done, but generally the cost/benefit isn't there.

A muscle car with forced induction would generally use a super charger, which is a crank driven device. A turbo charger is exhaust gas driven. In a nut shell both compress your intake air which allows you to add and burn more fuel...thereby generating more horsepower.

It is NOT a good idea, imho, to install a turbo charger on a muscle car.
