But it still doesn't make sense to me. Look at the torque graph. According to that one, at 2700 rpm, the stock Z06 is making 300 ft-lbs and yet the TT is only making 200 ft-lbs. I can't see how ANY booster device could take away 100 ft-lbs of torque. I would think at the very least the boosting would ADD to the already existing torque at that point. No matter, what the lag, it still shouldn't produce LESS torque (nor horsepower) than the standalone engine.

If so, extrapolating the data, at 1500 rpm, the engine wouldn't have enough power to even move the car with the turbos installed!
