I never said that the FT-86 NA would get 300hp from it. You read my post completely wrong. I was saying I would rather have a 300hp NA engine over a 300 hp engine with a turbo. I would rather have a 400hp NA engine over a 400 hp engine with a turbo. I would rather have a 500hp NA engine over a 500 hp engine with a turbo. I would rather have a 200hp NA engine over a 200 hp engine with a turbo. Get it? All else being equal I would rather have a NA engine with the same power than a turbo engine with the same power. Now if you are talking about a 200hp NA engine vs. a 350hp turbo engine, now we start having a discussion and dilemma. Got it?
