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.

Most people will go to efr to add power though I.e. They are at 300 and want 500 bhp

So, drag strip, doubt much difference, road lots of extra performance.
So what if I had a car specced at say 400hp on a t34 with accompanying mods ie cooler, bigger injectors, etc etc then switched to an efr with the same accompanying mods would it make more power?
Forgetting spool up time and driveability
