The car will drive as though it's chained to a tree. A very large, deeply-rooted, immovable tree.

He said it best. It will still run, but will have no power to spare.

The higher compression pistons are what gives the non-turbo all of its power. If you remove them you can kiss your power goodbye. The reason the turbo cars have lower compression pistons is to compensate for the boost.

You should remedy this problem and promptly install a turbocharger.

thanx to all that replied

the car runs but when i go to take off it will only go up to 3000 rpm and no more it has absolutly no acceleration. if i put a turbo head on it will that help,? or do i have to turbo charge it right away?
