Hank thats about what I am getting with my 1982 FC35 with the Cat
3208NA. People forget that turbo chargers and intercoolers do not
make an engine more efficient they allow a denser fuel/air charge to
be pumped into the cylinder. More fuel pumped into the cylinder means
more fuel used. A horsepower increase from 210HP to 300HP in the same
engine can only be realized thru the use of more fuel. There is no
magic involved.
