Lack of low end power comes from being turbocharged. The commpression ratio on that engine is only 8.0:1 (non turbo is 9.5:1). Power is made with your foot in it at 3000rpm. Hope this helps.
why not? I have used one for years with no problems. also turbo compression ratio is 7.5:1. as far as the ranger roller it is a good upgrade vs the stock turbo cam and there are upgrades for the ranger cam.
