If YOU think that you can do better then good for you, our definitions of better are different. To you better means more power. To me better means a very responsive engine built N/A, and be at least somewhat original. I don't care if it is easier with other engines, easier isn't my point nor is total HP. I don't need a bajillion horsepower to do what I want, I DO need a more responsive moderately powerful engine. Horsepower doesn't make faster lap times, the driver and the suspension do that.

Are you mental? If all I cared about was peak hp, my setup would not have been what it was, nor would I have been pointing attention to my powerband, and I would have just posted up the 20+psi graphs (which were just for fun). I could have gotten a GT30r just as easily and sacrificed some spool and response for peak hp. Or a larger turbine a/r. Anyone into road racing should be able to appreciate the powerband I had - which is exactly what I had intended when I designed that setup. Notice how after reaching peak tq it doesn't drop at all before redlining (with any bit of significance)? My car was a rock solid track car, very responsive, and a BLAST to drive.
