I was sitting here on the rig the other day, bullshitting with the derrick man and he was telling me about his LT1 Trans Am. It came up that I had an LS1 in my truck and he was like, "WOW! Thats awesome!!!" I told him about how my 5.3 ran way better with heads and cam than this 5.7 does now. He told me that the 5.3 was a piece of junk and that he wonders why GM ever thought of something like that.... Uh huh ***I walk away***

Even the strongest n/a engine willl make more power blown...
So the point is moot.
Now on to the reason blowers jump in the market.Ford used them to make up for the lack of c.i./hp.GM on the other hand used them to keep up with epa standards while making great power."IMO"....Really though there is no other way to look at it.

I had a transmission builder tell me that a stall converter was useless and would do nothing but waste gas; I hung up on him.

Now when people who don't have a clue ask me about my truck or my car I just give them a blank stare and walk off, I just can't take it any more without being mean.
