[QUOTE="smashedheadcat, post: 3663488, member: 7756"] That's the beauty of turbos. They don't have as much parastic loss as a supercharger, so you can see higher rwhp numbers on the same boost. Also, the turbos are easily dialed down (in a matter of seconds) to street friendly boost levels. You'll also notice that the guys tuning their turbo'd rides are tuning much more conservatively than the supercharged guys are. The blown guys are all at 11.8-12.0 to 1 air to fuel with 17-23 degrees timing. They do that because they are all compariing the power numbers with eachother. "If one guy can make 600rwhp with 17psi, then I should be able to also." type of thinking. Not always, but it's not uncommon. Most turbo guys are running 10.3-11.5 air to fuel ratios, and keeping the timing in the 10-15 deg range. So with that conservative timing, richer air to fuel, and always race gas when hitting the car hard, you're seeing some big powered turbo cars on the stock blocks. [/QUOTE]
