[QUOTE="OX1, post: 16728375, member: 175132"] Tractability and linearity of a big V-8 is still better than a turbo motor, no matter how good they've improved the lag. The consistency of getting exactly what I asked for at a certain throttle setting, repeatedly, over and over (especially on/off/on/off throttle) really can't be beat with a big V-8 (cept maybe electrics). Not sure what this fascination is with ultra steep final drives. I run a low compr smog 400 with cam/chain on propane (which makes power even worse over gas). I'm about 36:1 with stock 79 bronco drivetrain and 7.56 overall dif/portal box mog 404 axles and 43 sticky SX's (800 lbs total). I no issues that require more gear. On paper that EB should 3.0 should eat my lunch, so not sure the concern with way more gear, much lighter tires, and a rig that is 1000 lbs lighter than my 6200 lb pig. [/QUOTE]
