Re: Turbo, piggy-back, and EG33 boost questions

just going to a 4.11 or 4.44 gearing will give you the same equiv in seat of pants as the 80-100hp.

the car is heavy, so that is the hurt factor. I have had a 92 stock svx and a 97 stock svx.
I have had 92 Legacy Turbo 5mt slight mods with exhaust, 94 Legacy Turbo 5mt running a maual boost controller, a 94 Legacy turbo wagon 4eat, a 93legacy turbo 4eat, another 94SS 5mt stock, and now own a 91 SS stock.

Those old Tlegs have more scoot than the SVX, at lower HP. It is in the chassis and gearing , my old T wagon was probably the most fun of all, it looked like a sleeper, but it ate Camaros and Mustangs for breakfast and asked for even more abuse. I sold that car 2 times even after buying it back once after the owner had it 4 years+. That thing was a BEAST in super mode.

Gear change, and report back.
