which is true even though we're talkin about small block v8's here. i mean sure you can get the small block to make 500-600hp n/a but what would happen if you add boost? so its like in other words
"having n/a is like having endless lag"
now how true is that? i 100% agree.

I don't see how having a N/A motor is like having endless lag... if the motor is setup properly it won't have any dead spots in its powerband. You just hit the pedal and go...
Just like a properly tuned turbocharged car...
Only thing I can think of being considered 'lag' is if we're talking about somebody who's running a big lumpy camshaft in like a V8. You know, choppy idle... sounds like it's going to die at any moment. A Cam like that means, the power band is fairly high. Having a cam like that means off idle they are a bit sluggish... 'lag'. But that's why you launch them (with auto) with a high stall converter. Also having too high of a stall on a car that doesn't have the high rpm power band, will feel sluggish.
Other than that... I can't think of a 'lag' for a N/A car.
