    Turboz from the factory

    I've got more respect for engineers who put the n/a cars out, and they turn out to be a masterpiece

    What ever makes power is cool with me... It doesnt matter n/a or f/i. Power is king to me, not how its made.

    FI cars from the factory tend to also have stronger blocks and internals and are much easier to upgrade than N/A cars

    I figured this to be true, but how does an LS1 put up with f/i? I know at least a few of y'all have tried, or know someone who has. Do they have short life expectancy?

    90 Mustang 5.0

    I like both n/a and power adder cars. The feeling of a turbo car when it comes on boost really hard is addictive and has to be felt to be described. The torque of a roots blown v8 is amazing, neck snapping fat torque curve that pretty much doesnt stop pulling. The centrifugal blowers can make amazing power and turn amazing times but my ONLY experience driving one was with a paxton novi 1200 blown 05 mustang and while it was fast the power curve didnt make ya shit your pants or anything. Its really soft on the bottom and then jus pulls long. But theres something to be said for the tractability off idle torque and smooth power curve of n/a. Plus if you put out a lot of power n/a you have bragging rights as well.
    Theres turbo cars that can make a ton of power but run times too slow considering the power. Prime example is supra turbos that have the huge singles and make like 600 horses and more but turn really slow 1/4 times. All the power in the world is useless if it doesnt translate into a quick car. I dont care if my mustang would have 400 horses and runs amazing times and pulls great and not being able to brag about having 600 horses but its all high end and not driveable and slow.
