Re: J's Racing complete SPL engine
if you compare a dyno graph of a 300whp FI vs. 300whp NA. the graph would look totally different except for the peak whp. NA would only have 300whp on the top end between 8k-8.5k rpm. where as in the turbo, depending on the turbo and boost controller used, you can paint a torque curve how ever you want. you can use an electronic boost controller to make 300whp from 4k rpm all the way up to 9k rpm. the only advantage NA has is lighter weight without the turbo parts.
if you're only comparing peak numbers, then you're not looking at the whole picture.

Throttle response, throttle control and corner entry
while a turbo makes more TQ over a much wider band...a turbo car vs an NA car with the same power...turbo will ALWAYS lose around a race track. Turbos have lag, less throttle control and no where near the response.
Not to mention the reliability of NA...
I love turbo...but the whole concept of turbo being better in basically every way for the money is such an ignorant thing...only found here in America.
everyone is so tied up on raw power per dollar and really have no clue
