Thread: VVL vs. T25 question

In all reality, this is the way it goes down.

Two cars equal in weight one with a t25 making 210whp and one with a VE making 210whp, the VE is going to win. Plain and simple. Its got a much broader powerband than the turbo car will have. Plain and simple. Same way how Corys car with 270whp could go 11.5 in the 1/4 but for a turbo car to do the same would need about 350whp or more given the weights are the same. The n/a car holds more power for a longer period of time.

Highway rolls after a certain speed the torque of the turbo car will take over and start to make up for where the n/a cant overcome wind and rolling resistance at that speed as easily as the turbo car. But more than likely not going to happen till past 110-115mph or so

Edit..

Yah LOUROK it must have been a real peaky 235 WHP then to lose to the 225WHP turbo. I guess that goes without saying.

Edit..

When my VE was making 203 whp with I,H,E, SR16 cams with a great tune I pulled on a stock DET that was at 10psi. We went from a 40 and we were locked side by side until 4th gear were I slowly creeped away.

It all depends on the set up but, once the boost is bumped up the T25 car should walk away.

No get a high compression cammed VE and the table will turn.

i am still amazed that this thread went 4 pages without flaming the OP.. usually a question posed like this gets roasted.. why are we being so nice this week??

It's the weather..... LOL

whats not to understand. A 210 whp n/a car will have a hard time and take forever to hit 140mph, a 210whp 210wtq turbo car will not have that hard of a time reaching 140 and will do it much quicker than the n/a car.

Care to explain why this is Ben maybe in a better detail than I could.

It sure isnt the hp thats making the difference, again maybe you could explain it better.
