[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16069617, member: 188865"] Running 18 psi on any motor at 12:1 compression is just asking for trouble. ANY motor. Let alone one as optimized from the factory for N/A (aluminum pistons, membrane thin cylinder liners, significant balancing challenges, etc). Can you fit 10 people in a 12' aluminum boat? Sure. Sitting next to the dock. Would you want to take it out and use it in all sorts of applications that way? Probably not. If you compare apples/apples (i.e. same boost level) even twins are going to have spooling challenges (i.e. lag) compared to a twin screw. That's kinda the point of the twin screw, to bring on torque instantly and low. As I said earlier, turbos and their run up kinda mimics the power distribution of the voodoo already. So basically solves a problem that doesn't exist. MOST of the guys wanting "more" are wanting it down low where the car feels doggy. Especially in highway scenarios involving 5th and 6th gear. For the first few trips, I found myself annoyed that I couldn't just mash the gas at 2k rpms and pass people. The car isn't built that way. Now I just down shift and go. Considering the costs, the inherent drawbacks and the reliability concerns, creating a street/strip monster out of a 350 is kinda like trying to make a Porsche go off roading. Can it be done? Sure. Probably not the best starting platform though. [/QUOTE]
