The T3/T4 hybrid is not exactly a monster turbo, plenty of people run that setup all day long on the street. Like running some radical cam is any more of a challenge than a slight turbo lag, at least it can idle in traffic and not puke its radiator! Speaking of cams, a stock ranger roller cam is "fairly stock" try running a "fairly stock" cam like that in a 10 second camero. Last time I checked, a 150 shot of nos is nothing to special, even rice motors can handle that and 5.0 stangs do it all day long. Considering the cost involved, amount of modifications, half the cylinders, and the street manners of this motor setup, you have to admit the little thing is fast. A maverick could be just as fast, since his pinto weighs in at around 2600, quite comparable to our mavs. It sure beats looking at another monster dinosaur motor squeezed into a chopped up engine compartment.
