No wonder stangnet is slow!
Didn't the 5.0 mods limit the sig length for you guys?
I think you are forgetting about a little thing called ram air. Totally free horsepower. Even reduces drag on the atomic level.Mike SVOR said:Just to correct you,
That's the biggest myth EVER.
A turbo takes HP to run. Think about having 15 to 40 psi of back pressure to make your boost levels. Yea, that's right. BACK PRESSURE. A turbo just doesn't spin in the breeze and make boost my friend. It's a huge resistance.
Not as much as the friction developed by the internal gears in a supercharger, but it's up there.
Just a FYI for ya.
The only HP adder that doesn't take HP away from the motor is Nitrous.
thanks for listening.
