ss or xr6 turbo

I agree with you, torque is more important. Pretty sure a 6 with 20+ psi in the mid has a fair bit of torque

20+ psi gutless down low v8 same power 7-11 psi (depending on type) has more low and mid, turbo more top end

Gutless down low? Do you understand how a turbo works? Or are you one of those simpletons that reads too many magazines and straight away 'OMG TURBO LAG'!
A PD blower will have more down low, 100% agree. Wouldn't call the 6 gutless by any stretch of the word, it's a 4.0lt 6, not a 1.6lt 4 banger.

Still mate until you hit boost there gutless I have a mate with a bf xr6(non turbo) ute it can even line lock its that gutless
And yes I know you have to wait for your exhaust to spool your turbo and I know your probs making full boost at 3500-4000 but still if your racing a v8 car with the same power your shity turbo 6 will lose why do you think drag cars are mainly supercharged most burnout cars supercharged-reliable consistent power

People are missing the point that the ford comes with a turbo from stock. By the time you add you charger to your v8 say goodbye to 10k.

Stock v stock, with same amount of cash dropped on each vehicle, me thinks the ford will shock a few people.

Bang for buck, they are the new VL turbo.

That link with the magnesium charger is on a car with head and cam(4-5k), full pipes (2-4k), charger (8-10k) and e85 fuel system upgrade (1-2k), OTR (500) and a tune (1-1500).

Dude aside for top fuelers, turbo charged vehicles are leading the way.

Burnout cars are charged due to the heat problems turbos create.

Don't matter how much low down torque you got. With power coming on that hard your toast.

Speaking of cost, one of the guys on the ford forums has ran a 10.93 with his FG F6 having spent under $7k. How many SS's run 10's for under $7k?

People on hear are bringing up mods and bank for buck
100% bang for buck f6 cos you can make power cheap with boost controller and full exhaust (running high boost not as reliable)
As for allout better power v8 all the way all the horsepower heros ain't 6 cylinders
Also with the burnout car they need more down low so when they dig in when they spin it has the downlow torque to keep them spinning

Wait, we're building a HP heroes car now? If you want to go that way, all the biggest numbers are from turbo cars
How is running high boost not reliable? Mine runs 20-21psi and does 600K's a week, never had a single issue with it.

The good skid cars once goin don't drop below 5500RPM. Check out blokes like RVK355, which is Narurally Aspirated mind u. He holds that thing on 8600 from start to finish.

Only the children skid below 4000. Hell my 304 makes sweet fark all below 4000RPM, but I can still hold top gear at 6700.
