> [@BlueMeanieTSi](#): > > thermnodynamic technobabble is the reason your engine runs asshole. These kits have been posted many times over the years. TJ has seen them installed, and ridden in cars with them. He just fucking told you exactly how it runs, and you’re telling him he’s full of shit. TJ has forgotten more about LS1’s than you know about DSM’s. He’s gonna take you to school, and im gonna laugh. ---

yeah maybe they should :rolleyes: anyway i’m not saying it won’t WORK and i’m not saying it won’t make any power, obv it will because it’s still forced induction, but sacraficing efficiency just to make a few hp isn’t worth it, it’s just not an efficient design no matter how you look at it, the same money invested in spanglers car would yield mcuh more power. they’re claiming 400whp on that setup…isn’t silver over that now NA with half the money put into the car? ---

> [@BlueMeanieTSi](#): > > we’re talking about efficiency of tailipipe mounted turbos vs manifold mounted ones They make boost and don’t lag, what else do you want it to do? Who cares if it wastes thermal energy in the process A coal fired power plant is only around 45% while some newer nuclear plants are 50% efficient. The end results are the same, if you stick your finger in the outlet you get lit up. ---
