Default Watch them come!
FLEXPOWER:

600bhp@E10 to 750bhp@E85, MAX for 100MPH+, all closed loop, in a Centennial like Z06R1! (5.5ltr, DPI, VVT, Heck even the 6SP OD for 30MPG@70MPH W/SC cruizing)

Less drag and lift!

Theoretically Possible!

So your car breathes through its butt?

So you have turbo-pressurized air travel a pipe all the way back to the front of the car, under/around the engine, up to the top to feed the intake valves, right? That's, what, six or eight feet of intake plumbing? And another six feet from the exhaust valves to the compressor? How does that affect turbo lag?
