A little Turbo Selection Help

Rusty, the engine in my Cuda was not turboed, it had a fogger system. From my experience a nitrous slant will make more low end torque, and a turbo slant engine will make more upper end HP.
PS: I am not an expert on either system, and this is just my experience. In all probability a better matched turbo than I had would out perform the nitrous system, or at least could match the bottom end torque.

That makes all the sense in the world, because a turbo.....at least back when you were running them, needed time to spool up, where the N20 was instant. I think modern turbos have come a long way since that time and can have an impact on low end performance as well, but they still have to spool up.
