Default Re: 10 sec street VL

Turbo engines can vary there power levels by boost or how the pedal is planted...
It's NOT like the engine is running full power all the time...
So a 700 h.p or so engine can last a long time..
Engines with high power / boost levels generally run lower compression which
helps durability ...
They develop sooo much mid range RPM torque that on the street high RPM is NOT required...
There's plenty of Mustangs in U.S with over 100,000 MILES on engine before a turbo is fitted and still keep going if tuned and serviced right...
As said hook up is the key to good times....
