Even with a 1.0 A/R turbine side on a Gt42R, I garuentee you can measure an ass load of backpressure in my 300ZX manifold. Thats why us turbo boys see such pre turbo EGT's compared to you blower boys.
I realize that but if people are worried about backpressure in relation to spool timing, that's what I was talking about.

That is all...
The fastest drag car uses a jet turbine.

The only difference between driving a high performance blower car and a high performance turbo car is when your neck gets slammed into the seat.

In a blower your plastered against your seat off the line, as they make peak torque in the lower RPM. However the feeling of being mashed into your seat decreases as RPM/Vehicle speed increase.

Turbo cars feel slow as **** off the line, then out of no where you get plastered to your seat and from that point on your not grabbing anything off the dash board.

Both feelings are amazing. I just like giving the blower boys ****, since i have a turbo car.
