Ha ha. That's boost! Seriously, though, read about a 5.0 Mustang with a single turbo, and manual trans, doing 8 sec quarters. So I would think a turbo 305 would be able to do the same--with mods of course.
We likes the superchargers though...

a 305 doesnt have nearly quite the potential as a 302. the aftermarket support for 5.0 fords is HUGE, and the best years come with forged internals stock. Id be willing to say that 8 sec mustang is not a 302, maybe a 351, has everything aftermarket/custom and costs a LOT.

how'd we start talking about 305s and 302s? i don't get it
that and, no i don't have a clue what that is used on but i think you've got the general idea right slickrock

How do they machine the crank in that big diesel??? I guess it doesn't need to be balanced perfectly since it only turns 102RPM!

the horse power to torque ratio seems alittle far fetched. I mean its only 100,000 horses, and it has over 1.5 million cubic inches. lol

The real question is how fast do those turbos spin at? I know a small power plant turbine/generator similar in size spins 3600 rpm and a safe decceleration rate to stop takes ~half a day.

the turbochargers on my locomotives are around 6 foot diameter and are so huge that they are hybrids meaning when engine RPM's are low enough they work like centrifugal superchargers until there is enough exhaust gas. the "drive shafts" for them uncouple at just the right speed. The redline for these motors is around 900 rpm and they have about 40,000 + cid making around 6000 horsepower and 200,000 ft lbs tq

just switch to all electrical generation and drivetrain, like a hibrid car. actually the locomotive does a kind of shift called transition where it switches from parralell or series at around 18 to 24 mph (depending on manufacturer).
