Regarding VVEL, it's not holding back the turbo cars, it's the supercharged cars with aftermarket exhausts and headers that are breathing too well. Watching boost ramp on on a 370Z is nearly the same instant gratification of a NA or twin screw. Turbo cams are starting to look more and more like NA ones. Blower cams on the other hand are much different. And just like everyone stated, turbo cars make more power from bolt ons period. Don't expect big numbers on a car pushing nearly 100hp per liter. The fact we can squeeze 50whp from bolt on mods is surprising. Pushing 500+whp on a stock block and maintain reliability... on a NA motor is impressive. I think BigT's arguments are shallow.
