[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1339627, member: 12995"] An internal combustion engine is nothing more than a giant air pump. It pumps in air (intake) mixed with fuel for continued combustion, and pumps air out (exhaust). The more efficiently you can pump air in and out of the motor (ported & polished heads, intake, and headers), the more efficiently your motor will run. Think about it this way... You can put a 1371 Weiand blower on a big block 572 Chevy with a set of STOCK 502 heads... And it might run 11's in the 1/4 (just giving a general hypothetical). Then take the same car, and build a 427 LSX small block with a full port & polish job on the intake, heads, and headers, and put twin 62/62mm ball bearing turbos on it, running 18 lbs. of boost, and it's going to run 9's in the 1/4... It's overall weight is MUCH lighter, the rotating assembly is lighter...therefore faster, it's more efficient, and turns up quicker. [/QUOTE]
