That remains to be proven.

However seeing the outstanding numbers a basic 3L oval port made on 10psi one would be hard pressed to make "enough" more power to show up "at the wheels in real driving" to show a big difference.

Dyno queen - Hell yes!

Drag queen - perhaps.

Real world putting the power to the ground through our platform without wasting it in wheel spin??? That remains to be proven.
However it is most definitely possible and pretty likely!
Just how much Money will it take to make it "reality" though??? Then compare it to what you get for little cost "comparatively"


Our engine design is very good at being very resistant to detonation. (I.E. 13+psi from a T28 on 10.31 CR!)
Tom ran ~10psi on both his 10.25-10.3CR 3L and 10.1CR oval port 3L



Now for cams.
Stock oval port cams for 5-9psi. (mad early TQ hump & they can't support high rpm anyway)
SVT cams for 9psi and above. (nice TQ, FLAT TQ, KILLER HP above 5000rpm)



If I were to build an engine that had plans to be boosted I would build it exactly like I did.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
