7.3 twin turbo Godzilla

The vast majority of what people perceive as turbo lag...

The vast majority of people I know who experience turbo lag, disappear in my rear view mirror exiting a corner. Then we laugh about it in the pits or at a banquet that night.

I guess I deal with a different crowd.

BTW, a friend's McLaren has turbo lag. It exists. There's not some fancy electric gizmo that delays the throttle like the goofy Ram truck. It's simply turbo lag. You need to spin the engine up to 3000 to 4000 rpm until it kicks in. Talk about how it doesn't exist all you want. But, it does. Does it matter to me in the goofy Ram? No because I don't care and I know that it's programmed that way. When I want to accelerate the Ram on a Tuesday morning into traffic, I get on the throttle a few days in advance. But, if I was to put forced induction on a 7.3, I'd install a supercharger.
