And as I said, given the 1/4 mile is probably the worst "performance" test ever for an EFR, why would you think a result would change because of one ? Given it's virtually full throttle the entire way. There is almost no reason for a similar powered car to go faster because of an EFR vs a different turbo.

Now if you're simply comparing an EFR turbo car that makes more power, to a car with an alternative turbo that made less power...well that again isnt even a comparable test. They're just different so results will be different.



A car with 700+ should be trapping in the 140+ range. Whilst ET's arent always a great indicator, 13.7 is poor for that sort of power.
I thought quarter mile terminals were a good indication of the cars power?
