Re: Cam knowlege plz.

400's are low RPM engines comparatively speaking, but high torque. To answer your question.... No, turbos are powered by air flow (exhaust). That is why diesels respond so well to them. My Duramax is 402cid (6.6L), max RPM is 3200 at which it defuels. Normal range is 1800-2300 RPMs. Max boost is 27psi, normal boost at 70 mph cruise unloaded and level ground is 3psi.

So no, any engine will work well with a turbo. This is why the Ricer crowd and the Coal-Rollers likes them so much.
Also consider aircraft... 4,5 or even 600cid turning a prop at 1800RPMs redline.
