    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    No I didnt, but I suppose I can see how you might think that. Why dont you go look up how VE is calculated. Ill give you a hint, it isnt at cruising speed. :D

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    I guess it depends on your idea of a decent amount of power. The 302 isnt exactly a large engine and any cam that makes a good amount of power is going to be a little bit lumpy. Im not going to sit here and school you on why. :lol: Yea because converters only flash right off idle.

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    Havent put a cam into many 302s have you? It also doesnt sound like you have a whole lot of experience with turbos either. Its not hard to have little to no lag if you size your turbo correctly and have a good overall designed system. You can actually have no lag at all if you want to run an...

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    Well V.E. is actually more of a measurement in making power although I do know it can be applied loosely to an engines overall perfromance to some degree. The bottom line is you will always have more overlap in a decent n/a performance cam and this will always yield worse mileage overall. For...

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    Ive never seen a HCI 5.0 get better mileage than a stock 5.0. Matter of fact any cam worth owning is going to have a good amount of overlap and seriously hurt low end efficiency. But I digess. My 4 banger commonly gets over 27 mpg with mostly highway driving and some good beating on the...

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    Someone needs to tell mine its supposed to be finicky then I guess. Only reason Ive had to pop the hood in years has been to change the oil and plugs.

    Turbo 4 cylinder vs a stock 5.0

    My 4 banger car made 197 rwhp and 290 rwtorque. It made that torque number at 3600 rpm too!!. It also ran 13.84 @102 with a slipping clutch. Anyway its just a stock 88 turbo coupe engine with a GN intercooler running 18 psi and has been this way for 5 years and over 80k miles. So yes you can...
