Quik is obviously being sarcastic to further prove to himself that he made the right choice building v8 and the rest of the world is wrong. That being said , no fucking shit a twin turbo v8 will make large numbers on pump gas. However what isn’t being brought to attention is the camaro was running 16psi, correct me if I’m wrong. That kind of boost on pump gas is fine and dandy, but for the whole “efficiency” topic, plz explain to me how a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter ( possible 2.3 none the less), is supposed the flow the amount of a v8 efficiently on pump gas. Kurt had to be around 40+ psi, now I can guarentee if your v8 were to be looking at any boost levels even somewhat similar to that you to would need a more efficient fuel. I get what quik > is saying but I can’t help but be jacked off at the one track mind that you have, the world is greater than v8’s and Irwin car shows and though it is harder to make > power out smaller motors , a car like kurts, joes, baldys, mine, garrets, evo dans, etc, these are the “muscle” cars of the new era, nothing wrong with a turbo or twin turbo > v8 car, however the times have evolved and just because there are cars half the weight and half the liters, making similar if not more power, and running similar if > not better times, doesn’t make it wrong. youre mecca of imports disowned you guys. NOPI dropped off after they realize that market is dead but others try to keep it going. i was just trying to figure out why that was my reasoning. youll never ever replace displacement. it will always make more power in the end period youre caught up in PSI…PSI means shit!!! Its volume of air cause as we all know 16psi from say my 88mm isnt no where near the same as say 30 psi from a 35r efficiency has alot to do with how much power you make and what fuel. the more efficient it is the more power it will make. thats proven for years. the imports being muscle of today…thats a BS statement, they dont make torque, torque is muscle. alot mainly most think i hate imports, i dont hate imports that has nothing to do with any of this. it comes down to i wanted to know a real reason why every single time someone with a import says well that was on my pump gas tune and not race gas. where as majority of turbo v8s run on 93 and make huge numbers without being on the ragged edge. i dont give two shits about irwin car show, was there once doubt ill be there again. now as for comparing weight and power to a domestic. why does a car that weighs 2k and make 500 hp go 10.5 @130 and why does a 4k domestic that makes 500 go 10.5 @ 130…if a setup was so great then why isnt the 2k less weight go almost 2 seconds faster? again i just wanted to know why is it such a huge deal and claimed necessity to run race gas to make power under 800 whp --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/03-evo-8-tune-results/204394)._
