Turbos are made for torque, not horsepower. The efficiency of a turbo is mapped and the implementor can decide what RPM range the turbo will be most efficient. Also it depends on where the turbo pressure sensor is placed to determine the responsiveness of the engine. The v8tt happens to reach peak torque at 4250. This doesn't mean that it can't be 4249 at 1000rpm. It's still a 3.5L V8 before the turbo. Only a dyno chart would really say. > >With the problems with the input shaft on the Delorean, the LSD > >would just make things worse. > > > Why?

I would think that it, *assuming* 100% coupling, it would take more torque to spin two wheels vs. spin one wheel. Of course, if the PRV can't spin any wheels, this is irrelavent. I really don't remember, having fired that POS years ago. Jim ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
