Hey Feets, the answer is yes and no.

Which you do you think will get better gas mileage?

1. 400 inch motor, 4.56 gear, 5000 stall, big cam.
2. 400 inch motor, 3.55 gear, 2500 stall, small cam, 76 mm turbo.

Everything else is identical with the exception of noted above.







EVERYTHING IDENTICAL. EVERYTHING! CHASSIS, ENGINE, TRANS, GEARS, EVERYTHING!

IT WILL NOT MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT!


Now, quit changing combinations. It was a simple question. Will adding a turbo increase efficiency? NO, IT WILL NOT!

Now, if you toss everything out the window and make an entirely new package bumper to bumper you can build a package to suit your prefrences.

That's not what this topic was about.


Some of you freaks just don't get it. You can't get something for nothing. Spinning a turbo consumes energy. to take advantage of it you have to change the combination. POW! It's no longer the same package and therefore out of the realm of this topic.

Some of you people need to pull your heads out of your collective arses and THINK! There is no free lunch. Cause and effect. Go all the way through cause and effect WITHOUT changing your combination.
I'm out of this one.
