Youre getting a camaro? Saw your avi changed lol, whats that about?

 

Only a quality tune, as Tony said, it should last for quite some time. Although Turbo > Blower without a shadow of a doubt IMO. The video above that has a turbo car at 8lbs. making more power than the S/C car at 11lbs. not to mention it also leaves a little wiggle room for the engine. You can creep higher into the "danger zone" since the turbo kit puts less strain on the engine since it is all about efficiency.

 

Interesting, Ford20...could this be related to the ramp-up of power with a turbo versus the instantaneous hit of power with the SC?

IIRC, the big boost at low RPM with the SC means higher cylinder pressures while the piston is essentially spending more time at TDC...and therefore absorbing more heat from the compressed mixture...

...more heat means impending knock.

Is that about right?

 

From what I can recall from my conversations with Eric @ JPC and I may not be remembering correctly is because the efficency of the turbo you can make the same amount of power at a lower boost level. This allows you to go further into the danger zone by upping the boost levels to that of supercharged cars. An example of the 2 videos posted where the turbo car was making 670 at 8lbs and the Roush was making 650 at 11lbs. You can then turn the boost up to 11lbs. and theoretically still be dealing the same amount of pressures on the internals while gaining more power.
