KB = cleaner install

Turbo = complex install

Both will provide a good power increase. The turbo is more efficient (even though top fuel is not turbo...), but that won't be noticed on a car primarily driven on the street.
That's because those motors are bad *** before they even benefit from the F/I

Like I said, since you don't /can't go with a SB right now, the 2.1 KB will work great for you. Plan on the same upgrades to make big hp numbers that us GT guys have to do.

What all did you have to purchase separate from the KB to get it running? (lettheponiesrunfree)

personally i would go turbo. you got a badass bullitt intake right now and it would just benifit your turbos. plus you have wayyyyy more room to grow with turbos. this is just my opinion. you can also down the road get a boost controler and turn up the boost whenever you want besides changing pullies. but whatever you do, it will be badass. i wish i could be in your situation. i wouldnt kick anyone of them out of my bed.

I'd go turbo as well, I would want all that torque. Also i agree with it has more room to grow.

If you can afford a hellion kit, at what, 6500 bucks, you can afford to do a centri and a shortblock... and thats going to put a hurting on anything a turbo or KB setup can do on the stock shortblock... a big hurting.

Im fighting the same argument right now. All of my tech advisors have me goin' blower instead of turbo, two reasons: Turbo is more complex and SC is cooler under the hood. This is my first mod car and I dont want to re-invent the wheel right now.
