Thank you, Art!!!

FINALLY, someone with more than a modicum of knowledge, and with a lot of common sense, has agreed, in principle, with my ORIGINAL CONTENTION. which was that limiting the boost on turbocharged cars to their OEM boost spec (through the use of telltale gauge monitoring by NHRA) might could solve the problem of having two or three percent of the cars at national events (turbocharged cars) nailing down over fifteen percent of the #1 qualifying slots, as has been the case annually, for the last four years.

Without the boost levels they're currently able to run, they'd likely not be turning e.t.'s so far under their respective indexes.

I seem to be the only human being on earth who sees this as a problem, however, so I will no longer beat what seems to be a very dead horse, by now.

But, I think Art just validated my simplistic, but direct, line of reasoning about how this happens, with his explanation of why acid-ported (or, whatever) heads are not needed with a turbo.

Thanks, again, Art... that was a VERY well-writtten and interesting explanation, especially the part about the SRT-4 turbo motor.

You missed the point totally, and spun what said around (you must be an Obama suporter)
I said that increasing airflow leads to horsepower no matter how you accomplish it. You complain about boost while remaining quiet on ported intakes and heads, cams, carbureator mods, valve springs etc
Well!! Guess what!! I guarantee you nobody has qualified number one without some of the things I mentioned.
So what's your point. Are you saying we should chop off the arms of anyone who isn't right handed?
If you want to run pure-stock go do it. If not PLEASE get a life
