In all honesty I ment a twin screw. And in that case, I would get a new hood and probably radiator. Not sure what else tho. The can is actually for more of a parking lot and cones/ canyon running situation. Its a daily driver, but I could give a **** about comfort. The suspension is coming along and will soon be fully built. Its the power I want to address, I can get 300-350 is WHP with N/A. But I kind of want that 400whp. I'm sure I'll need some crazy tires for that, but I don't really care. Its hard to do really good on a track when you turn amazing but got nothing in the straights. We'll see what happens. I may just end up with a build N/A car. WE'll see.

IMO a i/c kb setup would be perfect for road racing. The problem with a n/a build to make real power is your going to need some extreme cams, which puts you back in the situation of not making much down low TQ.

A KB setup will make tons of tq down low, so you don't have to worry about rowing the **** out of that shifter coming out of every corner.

for road racing a KB blower would be your best bet. yeah you will get heatsoak but that can be worked on as you get further down the road. the torque you have with a twin screw type blower would destroy an equal car with a centri blower on the road coarse.

i have an uncle who is HUGE into road racing and he buts cars with turbos and switches them to blowers. most of which are roots. roots would be better than centri but the twin screw is king. and KB is your only option for a twin screw on the 99-04 2v cars
