The lack of any type of engine braking is about his only complaint.
I bet low displacement and relatively low compression ratio is the reason.
My Hemi is pretty good at engine braking. My Vette with a 7.0 can stop in any non-emergency situation without touching the brakes! My bus with a 6V71 is downright scary in the hills...
I think you are right on. All the turbo gassers I have owned have had worse engine braking than their normally aspirated compatriots.
