I am sure it would move good, but the problem you will find other than the weight is the shear torque of the engine will have the tendency to twist off and break parts without straining the engine.

A gas engine with the same torque has to rev up to build the torque and is not as hard on parts because of this. A big diesel only has to have the fuel added at low rpm to build full torque and with too much resistance will break parts.

So too much power is not a good thing, but finding the balance is key.

Can't wait to see what the Paxton supercharger does to wake up my 2.2.
