I actually own a turbo car and yes it needs boost to run the way it does. Its an I-4 at 2.6 liters it needs help. But as far as factory built cars go and this is my opinion... when you have to boost your V-8s to compete with the other factory V-8s, I'd say that your R&D is out dated. They have boosted cars early in the 40s as a way to increase power. In the 21st century we have so many other options for our V-8s. Boost the 4s and 6s to put them on even footing with small V-8s, but 5.0 and bigger V-8s if they put the time in can produce great power without the blowers and turbos. Again I state this because for me its just too much of a bail out to boost. Too easy for the factories. Just throw a blower on it and their ya are. But put the right R&D in and create an LS-2 or a 5.7 and 6.1. Leave the boosting to the aftermarket. I really like the sound of a blown V-8. But when a Corparation has to go that route, then I really think they have run out of ideas and talent to make the ponies we need. Keep up the good work Dodge and thanks for giving us the chance to put more power adders on to your V-8s. As far as the ones who use factory blowers... they have pushed all they have with those motors as far as bolt-ons. Yeah a better exhaust and open the intake. Add a chip that ups the boost and adds and subtract timing. As far as the engine goes your about done. But with the 6.1 and 6.4 you can add those and blowers. They will take to the power adders better and they are not taxed as much as the factory blown cars. They are real close to maxed as far as strength. Again I am old school and Mopar through and through. I have had to defend my choice of being a Dodge guy in a world of bow tie and blue oval guys. But thats my choice and I guess I'll live with it
